“Placenta previa is defined as placenta that is wholly or partially in the lower uterine segment”(1). It complicates approximately 1 in 200 deliveries (2). The overall incidence of placenta previa is 0.2 0.5% in studies done in western world (3,4). The global prevalence of placenta previa is 5.2 per 1000 pregnancies (5).  The exact etiology of placenta previa is unknown. The condition may be multifactorial and it is postulated to be related with multiparity, multiple gestation, advanced maternal age, previous caesarean section, previous abortion and smoking. Amongst the many advances in the obstetrics practice, one of the most apparent advances has been the progressive increase in the frequency of caesarean section (CS). CS rates are inexorably rising which has led to the possibility of negative impact on both maternal and neonatal health. CS has become an epidemic in present scenario and it is a reason for immediate concern and deserves serious attention. Caesarean section, though a widely accepted surgery these days has its own set of complications for both the mother and fetus. With the increase in primary Caesarean section, there is increase in the complications, particularly those due to abnormal placentation like placenta previa and morbid adhesions.
