Hyderabad: Doctors at Birthright by Rainbow Hospitals, Financial District, successfully managed a rare and complicated pregnancy condition – placenta percreta, and ensured a safe delivery with minimal blood loss and no transfusions.

The patient, a 26-year-old woman, was diagnosed with placenta percreta, a condition where the placenta abnormally attaches to the uterine wall and penetrates through it, invading nearby organs like the bladder or bowel.
