A retrospective analysis of pathological placental implantation--site and penetration.
To determine the incidence of pathologically implanted placenta, i.e. placenta previa and accreta, at the Maternity Hospital of Kuwait. In addition the study aimed to identify the risk factors for such conditions, and test the hypothesis that previous cesarean section increases the likelihood of abnormal placentation. ⋯ Placenta accreta and previa are major causes of massive obstetric hemorrhage. They are interrelated with a common predisposing factor, cesarean section. Even though the rate of cesarean section and placenta previa is increasing, the incidence of placenta accreta remains stable in Kuwait.
