Description:	Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a rare complication of pregnancy associated with significant morbidity and mortality; however, the incidence is increasing worldwide. Managing PAS represents one of the most complex challenges in modern obstetric and anaesthesia practice, demanding meticulous preparation and seamless collaboration across different specialties. As Benjamin Franklin aptly observed, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” This principle holds true in the management of PAS, where success is predicated on early recognition, comprehensive planning and a multidisciplinary approach.
