NELSON, Tripp. The morbidly adherent placenta. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2016, vol.62, n.4, pp.411-419. ISSN 2304-5132.

The incidence of morbidly adherent placentation has increased in the current era of obstetrics paralleling the cesarean rate. The problem of abnormal placental adherence is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and requires multi-disciplinary care for management. The epidemiology, antenatal diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary care model are presented in this review. Multiple methods of imaging are reviewed in detail. In addition, both surgical and non-surgical interventions for management of the abnormally adherent placenta are evaluated.
