placenta percreta left in situ invades the sigmoid colon: a case report

Background: placenta percreta rarely invades pelvic or abdominal organs other than the urinary bladder or rectum. the optimal management of this condition is yet to be determined. for patients who wish to preserve their fertility, uterine artery embolization has been employed in an attempt to decrease maternal morbidity and preserve fertility. case: herein, we present the case of a 32-year-old female patient presenting for low anterior resection of the colon due to invasion by placenta percreta left in situ. conclusion: invasion of sigmoid colon by placenta percreta left in situ as part of conservative management of placenta percreta has never been reported in the medical literature. a multidisciplinary approach involving an interventional radiologist, urologist, colorectal surgeon, and obstetrician is required to obtain the best outcome.
