ABSTRACT

In rare situations, pregnant women may experience life-threatening bleeding due to the placenta's aberrant invasion of the bladder. A 28-year-old pregnant female with two previous cesarean deliveries presented with the chief complaint of abdominal pain at the earlier scar site. Ultrasound imaging was suggestive of placenta percreta with bladder invasion. The patient underwent elective cesarean section with a uterine-preservation strategy. A healthy male baby was delivered by classical cesarean section, and bilateral uterine artery ligation was done. The patient developed severe postoperative hemorrhage, for which she was re-explored, and the urology team was called for intraoperative assistance. The area of placental invasion into the bladder was resected entirely with bladder reconstruction. Placenta percreta is a life-threatening condition that can involve adjacent uterine structures. Successful management involves a multidisciplinary strategy involving experienced obstetricians, urologists, anesthesiologists, blood bank teams, and neonatologists.
