Uterus-preserving surgical management of placenta accreta spectrum disorder: a large retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The two-child policy implemented in China resulted in a surge of high-risk pregnancies among advanced maternal aged women and presented a window of opportunity to identify a large number of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases, which often invoke severe blood loss and hysterectomy.
