Group Intervention Description Interventional group 3D Doppler Ultrasound Patients confirmed having one or more of the signs of morbidly adherent placenta will be examined by 3D Ultrasound and 3D power Doppler. Patients will then be prepared for the operation.Cesarean hysterectomy will be done with removal of the uterus and the placenta as one mass.Cases with focal invasion of the uterus will be given a trial for conservative management. The whole specimen will be sent for histopathological examination, and the determination of length and depth of invasion.
