Abstract
Three cases are reported of placenta percreta with urinary bladder wall invasion. All three patients had complete placenta previa and each had five previous cesarean sections. Placental invasion caused a giant vesicouterine fistula in the first case. The second patient had a cesarean hysterectomy and the placental portion that penetrated the bladder wall was left to absorb spontaneously. The third patient underwent a cesarean supracervical hysterectomy during which the bladder invasion was left undisturbed. She received intraoperative methotrexate, and pelvic packing and bilateral hypogastric ligation were helpful in hemorrhage control.
