Chaudhary P, Sharma S, Yadav R, Dhaubhadel P


Abstract:

Placenta accreta is defined as �an abnormal adherence, either in whole or in part, of the afterbirth to the underlying uterine wall�. Placenta increta occurs when the placenta invades deeply into the myometrium.1 Placenta increta is a life threatening condition. We report a case of placenta increta managed by unilateral uterine artery and ovarian artery ligation followed by B- Lynch Brace suturing of the uterus to control bleeding from the placental bed.
