Abstract

The surgical management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is often challenging. There are a variety of techniques and management options described in the literature ranging from uterine sparing to cesarean hysterectomy. Following the inaugural meeting of the Pan-American Society for Placenta Accreta Spectrum a multidisciplinary group collaborated to describe collective recommendations for the surgical management of PAS. In this manuscript, we outline individual components of the procedure and provide suggested direction at key points of a cesarean hysterectomy in the setting of PAS. Key Points The surgical management of PAS requires careful planning and expertise. Multidisciplinary team care for pregnancies complicated by PAS can decrease morbidity and mortality. Careful surgical techniques can minimize risk of significant hemorrhage by avoiding pitfalls.
