Endometrial resection mandates reliable contraception thereafter - a case report of placenta increta following endometrial ablation.

Placenta increta complicated pregnancy in a woman with a history of endometrial resection.

Contraceptive measures must be implemented after endometrial ablation and pursued until proven menopause, even in women who develop amenorrhoea postoperatively.
