Using imaging to plan surgery for placenta complications
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at placenta accreta spectrum (a serious placenta problem) using ultrasound or MRI images. It may help by classifying the condition in a more detailed way so surgeons can plan the right operation during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and at least 18 years old
- Your pregnancy has a prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum on ultrasound or MRI
- Your doctors have told you that you need surgery for this placenta problem (planned or urgent)
- During the operation (laparotomy), the surgical team will use a specific “topographic” classification system

This trial tests a new classification system for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. It aims to see if this system helps predict outcomes and improve care for pregnant people who need surgery for PAS.
This study follows pregnant women who may have placenta accreta—a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. Researchers will measure the length of the cervix and how deeply the placenta is attached using ultrasound to help guide care during pregnancy.
This trial looks at how to diagnose and what happens to pregnant women with a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus (placental accreta). It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve care.
This trial compares two surgical methods for managing placenta accreta spectrum (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall). It tests whether a less invasive approach (tamponade) works as well as removing part of the uterus (partial myometrial resection) in women having a cesarean section.
This study tests a planned surgical approach for placenta accreta (when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall) in women who have had a previous c-section. If you are at least 28 weeks pregnant and have been diagnosed with this condition, the trial aims to see if a conservative surgery can help safely manage it.
This study uses a special ultrasound scoring system to help doctors predict how severe a condition called placenta accreta spectrum might be and how surgery will go. It may help you and your care team plan safer delivery.
