The true incidence is unknown because of the poor quality and heterogeneous diagnostic criteria. Classification systems have attempted to provide clarity on how to grade and diagnose PAS, but these are no longer reflective of our current understanding of PAS. This is particularly true for placenta percreta, which referred to extrauterine disease, as recent studies have demonstrated that placental villi associated with PAS have minimal potential to invade beyond the uterine serosa. It is accepted that PAS is a direct consequence of previous iatrogenic uterine injury, most commonly a previous cesarean section. Here, we \u201clook back to look forwards\u201d\u2014starting with the primary predisposing factor for PAS, an iatrogenic uterine injury and subsequent wound healing. We then consider the evolution of definitions and diagnostic criteria of PAS from its first description over a century ago to current classifications. Finally, we discuss why modifications to the current classifications are needed to allow accurate diagnosis of this rare but life\u2010threatening complication, while avoiding overdiagnosis and potential patient harm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.15826","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]],"date-time":"2024-07-24T05:37:10Z","timestamp":1721799430000},"page":"48-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Looking
