One of the most important complications of placenta previa is the presence of placenta percreta. Nowadays, the incidence of placenta percreta has increased due to the increase in the number of cesarean sections. Maternal morbidity in such cases comprise massive transfusion, development of disseminated intravascular coagulation, uterine rupture, cystostomy, fistula formation, ureteral stricture, intensive care unit admission, infection, prolonged hospitalization, adult respiratory distress syndrome, renal failure, septicemia and even death. The aim of this research is to report how the inexperienced surgeons who were caught unprepared reacted in the case of undiagnosed placenta previa percreta. We aimed to make this case report a guide to saving the life of mother with placental previa percreta and baby under inadequate hospital conditions. Similar cases may be encountered by every young surgeon at any time. <br /> </p>}, number={12}, publisher={Selçuk BAŞAK}
