Extract

Morbid adherent placenta (MAP), also known as placenta accreta, increta or percreta, is one of the main causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Its incidence has noticeably increased in the last few decades, a fact directly related to the increase in caesarean sections. There is a close relation between iterative caesarean sections and MAP. This connection is of vital importance, since caesarean rates have risen worldwide, especially in the countries where there is the possibility of caesarean section on demand.
