Abstract

The placenta accreta spectrum encompasses a range of conditions characterized by abnormal placental attachment. Placenta percreta is the most severe form, with deeper invasion into and beyond the uterine wall. The increasing incidence of placenta accreta spectrum mandates vigilance and skill acquisition for safe surgical intervention. This case series aims to create awareness among young practitioners to the rare urological complications associated with abnormally adherent placenta.
