A hospital-based study of all PP cases diagnosed and managed between August-November 2021 at Omdurman Maternity Hospital, Sudan. A total of 8602 pregnant women delivered during the study period, 50 of them were diagnosed as PP cases. Three types of PP cases were diagnosed, minor degree(12%), major degree(66%) and morbid adherent(22%). All patients were operated by CS delivery. Elective and emergency CS deliveries were performed in 76% and 24% PP cases, respectively. PP management included, conservative, uterine packing, bilateral uterine artery ligation, internal iliac artery ligation, placental bed suturing and hysterectomy.
