## Abstract

This case involves a 34-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 6 para 5, with a gestational age of 32 weeks plus one day. After imaging studies, doctors suspected that she had an abnormal placentation and referred her to a secondary hospital for further management. Surgeons there performed a successful elective cesarean section and a total abdominal hysterectomy with a multidisciplinary approach in mind.
