Abstract: Pathological placental invasion is a dangerous anomaly during pregnancy, which causes increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Patients with abnormal placental invasion may experience life-threatening uterine bleeding during delivery, particularly in cases of placenta percreta. This often requires surgical intervention, specifically a hysterectomy, which some researchers refer to as the “gold standard” treatment for pathological placental invasion, with rates ranging from 47% to 77.8%. Conversely, other researchers recommend a conservative approach, involving the complete removal of the placenta percreta, excision of damaged areas on the uterine walls and bladder, and metroplasty and restoration of the integrity of the. This article presents a clinical case of a 40-year-old patient with a complicated obstetric history, including abnormal placental invasion (placenta percreta) involving the anterior wall of the uterus and the bladder. Delayed diagnosis of such pathology leads to inappropriate treatment and, consequently, acute massive bleeding, posing a risk to the patient’s health and life. The applied comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic measures facilitated the preservation of the pelvic organs and restoration of the patient’s reproductive function.
