Surgical Classification of Abnormal Placentation

Reaching the proper pre-operative diagnosis for abnormal placentation in crucial to markedly decrease the intra-operative complications as well as the maternal morbidity and mortality. In this trial researchers aim to set up some pre-operative sonographic criteria that would help in planning the surgical procedure as well as setting up a surgical classification for the abnormally adherent placenta.

Inclusion Criteria:

• abnormal placental site (placenta previa)

Exclusion Criteria:

• refusal to participate in the study
• cases with normal placental location ( fundal, anterior or posterior wall not reaching the lower uterine segment)
