Placenta accreta is a pregnancy complication where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. Normally, the placenta separates easily after childbirth, but in cases of accreta, it can become firmly embedded, making removal difficult. This condition can lead to severe bleeding during delivery and may require a cesarean section. There are different types of placenta accreta, including placenta increta and placenta percreta, which indicate varying degrees of invasion into the uterine tissue. Risk factors include previous uterine surgeries, such as a cesarean section, and certain uterine abnormalities. Early diagnosis and careful management are essential for the safety of both mother and baby.
