A history of C-sections is the most important risk factor for the development of placenta accreta spectrum disorders. The global elevation of caesarean section indicator has led to increase the incidence of these disorders. However, other antenatal conditions should be considered among the risks, associated with less extensive surgical damage of the uterine wall, such as curettage. A literature review on the subject of placental accreta spectrum disorders is carried out to deepen on the serious impact on pregnancy. Screening of placenta accreta is recommended in all pregnant women with a history of uterine curettage, as part of prenatal care. Placenta accreta is generally an entirely iatrogenic condition. Health professionals and patients could contribute to the reduction of this condition incidence, in regards to abortion.

Keywords : placenta accreta; risk factors; uterine curettage.
