This paper is a Letter to the Editor that discusses the concept of iatrogenic breaching of the junctional zone and frames it as an unintended pathway related to placenta accreta spectrum. It does not report original data, methods, or participant outcomes, and it explicitly states that it is only a letter without data use, funding, or ethical approval. The main limitation is that the content is presented as commentary rather than a study with empirical findings. Relevance to endometriosis: the junctional zone is a key anatomical feature in adenomyosis, and the letter’s proposed mechanism involving the junctional zone makes it indirectly relevant to adenomyosis research despite not being explicitly focused on adenomyosis.
