title: Conservative management of clinically diagnosed placenta accreta following vaginal delivery.
abstract: Placenta accreta can result in substantial maternal morbidity and mortality. Conservative management of placenta accreta following vaginal delivery is discussed in this case series. These cases demonstrate serial ultrasonographic resorption of placenta accreta left in situ following vaginal delivery with minimal blood product requirements and preservation of fertility.
