Two cases of placenta accreta managed conservatively.
Placenta accreta is a rare complication of pregnancy. Traditionally treatment has been operative, commonly total abdominal hysterectomy, in order to prevent serious haemorrhage or infection. Reproductive function can, however, be preserved by conservative management which is possible in carefully selected cases without risking maternal welfare. We report two cases of placenta accreta managed conservatively--both women delivered after this treatment.
