The Adherent Placenta: An Overview of Cases and Their Management in Tertiary Care Center (Case Series) - Adherent placenta is a serious pregnancy condition, where placenta invades into uterine wall up to varying depth. Rising rate of cesarean section and increasing maternal age are the major causes. There were 8 cases reported in 1 year (2018-2019) study. All were undiagnosed cases of adherent placenta. Maternal morbidity and mortality is caused by life threatening hemorrhage and massive blood transfusion. In our study blood transfusion rate was (100%), hysterectomy (84%), major artery ligation rate (56%) and mortality rate was (14%). Antenatal imaging and high index of suspicion help in the diagnosis.
