Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a serious pregnancy complication in which the placenta grows abnormally into the uterine wall. This condition is associated with a high risk of severe bleeding, need for blood transfusion, hysterectomy, and maternal complications during cesarean delivery. This study aims to compare spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia in pregnant women diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum who underwent cesarean delivery. The researchers reviewed existing medical records to evaluate differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes between the two anesthesia approaches. The primary outcomes include changes in hemoglobin levels before and after surgery, the need for uterotonic medications during and after the operation, and newborn Apgar scores. Because this is a retrospective observational study, no new treatments were given, and all data were collected from routine clinical care records. The findings are expected to help guide anesthetic decision-making in PAS cases, improve maternal and neonatal safety, and contribute to the international scientific literature on this topic.
