This case report details a successful management of placenta percreta invading the urinary bladder. A hysterectomy was performed postpartum after a Cesarean section, preserving bladder function.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Urogynecology

Background:

  • Placenta percreta is a rare and dangerous condition where the placenta invades the uterine wall and potentially surrounding organs.
  • Involvement of the urinary bladder presents significant surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A patient with placenta percreta involving the urinary bladder underwent a classical Cesarean section at 35 weeks' gestation.
  • The placenta was intentionally left in situ after delivery.

Findings:

  • An elective hysterectomy was successfully performed two weeks after the Cesarean section.
  • This two-stage approach allowed for better surgical planning and execution.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a viable conservative management strategy for placenta percreta involving the bladder.
