Abstract
- The influence of adenomyomectomy on subsequent pregnancy is unknown. Placenta accreta is most often associated with placenta previa in women with multiple previous cesarean sections.A 41-year-old woman became pregnant six years after a laparoscopic uterine posterior adenomyomectomy. She was diagnosed with complete placenta previa and considered at a low risk for placenta accreta by ultrasonography. Cesarean section and subsequent hysterectomy were required, and histopathological analysis revealed a posterior placenta accreta.The authors discuss the association of adenomyomectomy and placenta accreta on subsequent pregnancy and conclude that previous adenomyomectomy may increase the risk of abnormal placentation. Therefore, careful treatment is required during the pregnancies of patients with previous adenomyomectomy.
