Abstract

Uterine rupture is a catastrophic obstetrical emergency with unpleasant maternal and fetal outcomes. Operative hysteroscopic procedures can add more risk factor for occurrence of this tragedy. Here, we report a case of spontaneous recurrent rupture uterus at 32 weeks of gestation in a 28-year-old woman with previous history of hysteroscopic resection of uterine septum after development of acute abdomen. Repair of anterior uterine wall longitudinal tear was performed through emergency laparotomy. Surgeons should explain to their patients the hazards of probable risk of recurrent UR in the future pregnancy and to document this discussion in the medical records before proceeding to operative hysteroscopic procedures.
