Those patients are attending to Kasr-Al Ainy Obstetrics outpatient clinic or casualty department during their 3rd trimester.

Ultrasound and doppler will be done to all patients to diagnose placenta accreta . The diagnosis will be confirmed by intraoperative assessments and histopathological examination of the uterus after cesarean hysterectomy
