Placenta previa has an incidence of about 0.4% to 0.5% (or 1 in 200 to 1 in 250 deliveries). Anterior placenta previa poses a unique obstacle in fetal extraction at CS: Is it best to transect (enter) the placenta or to cause a marginal abruption at the placental edge for fetal extraction? In this episode we will review an upcoming “Surgeon’s Corner” in the AJOG (July 2026) which provides some tips and tricks for this very issue.
