Placenta accreta is a significant obstetric complication in which the placenta is completely or focally adherent to the myometrium. The worldwide incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is increasing day by day, mostly due to the increasing trends in cesarean section rates. The accurate and timely diagnosis of placenta accreta is important to improve the feto-maternal outcome. Although standard ultrasound is a reliable and primary tool for the diagnosis of placenta accreta, the absence of ultrasound findings does not preclude the diagnosis of placenta accreta. Therefore, clinical evaluation of risk factors is equally essential for the prediction of abnormal placental invasion. Pregnant women with a high impression or established diagnosis of placenta accreta should be managed by a multidisciplinary team in a specialist center. Traditionally, PAS has been managed by an emergency obstetric hysterectomy. Previously, few studies suggested a satisfactory success rate of conservative management in well-chosen cases, whereas few studies recommended delayed hysterectomy to reduce the amount of bleeding. The continuously increasing trends of PAS and the challenges for its routine management are the main motives behind this literature review.
