Results: 72 patients were included in the analysis. The depth of abnormal placental invasion varied in the cohort, with 31.9%, 19.4% and 48.6% being classified as placenta acreata, placenta increata and placenta percreata, respectively. Bladder injury was encountered in 30.5% of patients and ureteral injury was seen in 2.8%. Degree of placental invasion were associated with a higher likelihood of urologic injury.
Conclusion: Urologic injuries are the most common intraoperative complication in the cases of abnormal placental invasion. Surgeons who involved in the management of these cases should be familiar with this risk and keep careful observation intraoperatively.
