Urological complications in women undergoing surgery for placenta accreta spectrum disorders: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Patients undergoing surgery for PAS disorders are at high-risk of urologic complications, mainly cystotomy.

The high heterogeneity highlights the need to use standardized protocols for the diagnosis of PAS to identify prenatal imaging signs associated with a risk of urologic morbidity at delivery.
