Objective: The aim of this study is to find out the rate of occurrence of Placenta Previa in the patients who visited KGN Teaching Hospital Bannu due to non-scarred and scarred uterus. Methods: We conducted a descriptive research work on 114 patients who underwent CS (Cesarean Section) (37 patients were present with non-scarred uterus and 77 patients were present scarred uterus) in Gynecology Department of KGN Teaching Hospital Bannu from March 2017 to November 2019. Results: Majority of the patients (47.36%) were in the age group of 26-30 years, appeared in period of gestational age from 36 to 40 weeks, were 70.17%, were largely in G2-4, whereas rate of occurrence of placenta Previa with non-scarred uterus was 32.45% (n: 37) patients and rate of occurrence in scarred uterus was 67.54% (n: 77). We found the major degree Placenta Previa in 77.19% (n: 88). There were 5.7% patients of Placenta Previa from the non-scarred uterus and 10.66% patients of Placenta Previa from scarred uterus already presented. Stratification analysis discovered a very high tendency of morbidity rate with rise in the amounts of past rates Cesarean Section.
