Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS), formerly known as morbidly adherent placenta 
refers to a range of pathologic adherence of the placenta, including placenta 
accreta, placenta increta and placenta percreta. Even though the most accepted 
approach to placenta accreta spectrum is a Caesarean hysterectomy with placenta 
left in situ after delivery of foetus, ideal management of PAS disorders is a matter 
of debate. PAS disorders have become significant life-threatening events due to 
increase in incidence, morbidity and mortality. We report 2 challenging case 
scenarios where a different approach of management was chosen.
