UTERINE RUPTURE IN THIRD TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY FOLLOWING CORNUAL RESECTION DUE TO ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

Acta Clin Croat. 2021 Mar;60(1):153-155. doi: 10.20471/acc.2021.60.01.23.

Abstract

Uterine rupture during pregnancy is a critical obstetric complication associated with maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The risk is increased in patients with a history of previous uterine surgery including cesarean section, myomectomy, salpingectomy, as well as uterine and placental anomalies and polyhydramnios. It can also occur spontaneously. We present a case of uterine rupture in the early third trimester in a woman who had undergone previous laparoscopic removal of the left fallopian tube due to sactosalpinx and laparotomic removal of left uterine horn due to ectopic pregnancy.

Keywords: Cornual resection; Pregnancy; Salpingectomy; Third trimester; Uterine rupture.
