There are few methods to control heavy intra-operative bleeding during cesarean delivery of placenta previa. Transient occlusion of uterine arteries (TOUA) during operation has previously been reported as a quick and safe method to control intra-operative uterine bleeding. We reported 2 cases of cesarean delivery with complete placenta previa in which TOUA was performed to safely reduce intra-operative complication, especially heavy intra-operative bleeding. In the 2 cases, cesarean deliveries were safe and without any complications under the TOUA method. TOUA can be a good method to control heavy intra-operative bleeding during cesarean delivery of complete placenta previa with risk of heavy bleeding.

Diagnostic ultrasound has become one of the most useful tools in the practice of obstetics. It has been ofparticular utility in the placental localization. We analyzed 34 patients of placenta previa scanned byultrasound. The reults were as follows; 1. The age of patient ranged from 22 to 39 years, showing the highestincidence in 26 to 30 years. 2. The accuracy of correct localization was 70.6%. 3. Among 13 cases diagnosed byultrasound as total placenta previa, 2 cases were partial placenta previa and 1 was low-lying placenta at the timeof delivery. 4. Among 9 cases diagnosed by ultrasound as partial placenta previa, 1 case was total palcenta previaand 1 case was low-lying placenta and 1 case was upper segment placenta. 5. Among 10 cases diagnosed by utrasoundas low-lying placenta, 2 cases were partial placenta previa. 6. Among 2 cases diagnosed by utlrasound as uppersegment placenta, 1 case was total placental previa and 1 case was partial placenta previa. 7. Among 9 cases doneserial ultrasoud, 3 cases revealed that the placenta migrates toward fundus in the course of pregnancy, Therefore,the palcental scanning should be repeated in the last month before term to decide the mode of delivery.conclusively, ultrasonography is the imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of placental localization becuseit provides speedy and repeatable way without any known risk to both mother and fetus itself. Careful performanceand accurate interpretation shold be needed for more correct palcental localization.

Placenta previa presents a highest risk to pregnancy, and placenta accreta is the most serious. Placenta accreta requires cesarean delivery and often results in massive obstetric hemorrhage and higher maternal morbidity. Challenges associated with cesarean delivery techniques may contribute to increased maternal blood loss and morbidity rates. Several recent obstetric studies reported the usefulness of transverse uterine fundal incision for managing placenta accreta. We present a case of placenta percreta that was treated by a transverse fundal incision. We successfully avoided cutting through the placenta and helped decrease maternal blood loss. After delivery, the patient underwent a cesarean hysterectomy. Postoperative day 48, she experienced watery discharge and was diagnosed with vaginal fistula. We present our case and review the literature.

Placenta previa percreta is an uncommon and lifetbreatening complication of pregnancy. tbe incidence of both placenta previa and placenta acaeta are increased in patients with scaned uteri, and patienth with uterine scars and placenta previa are at inaeased risk for also baving placenta accreta. A case of placents previa percreta involving the urinary bladder was experienced and treated with surgical management. We reported a case with concerned literatures
