TL;DR: The entire placenta and the invaded area are removed in block, to guarantee to perform the uterine repair with healthy tissue and to avoid a recurrence in the subsequent cesarean.

TL;DR: Correlation of pathological and clinical findings with prenatal imaging is essential to improve screening, diagnosis, and management of placenta accreta spectrum, and standardized protocols need to be developed.

Placenta accreta--summary of 10 years: a survey of 310 cases.

TL;DR: Repeated cesarean delivery, high parity, and anteriorly low placental location are associated with severe outcome in case of placenta accreta and a genetic factor may serve as a cause for this condition.

Placenta accreta: Pathogenesis of a 20th century iatrogenic uterine disease

TL;DR: Overall these data support the concept that abnormal decidualization and trophoblastic changes of the placental bed in placenta accreta are secondary to the uterine scar and thus entirely iatrogenic.
