Abstrakt: Assessment of lower segment uterine scar by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) at 11-14 weeks to screen for placenta accreta (PA). Patients with history of Caesarean section (CS) were prospectively included during first trimester scan over 6 weeks. Standardised targeted scanning protocols starting in1st trimester will help to plan follow-up, avoid unanticipated peripartum discoveries of PA as well as reassure patients otherwise at risk based upon history of CS.
