Uterine rupture is a rare, but serious childbirth complication that can occur during vaginal birth. It causes a mother's uterus to tear so her baby slips into her abdomen. This can cause severe bleeding in the mother and can suffocate the baby. This condition affects less than 1 percent of pregnant women.
Uterine rupture is a when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth. Symptoms while classically including increased pain, vaginal bleeding, or a change in contractions are not always present. Disability or death of the mother or baby may result.
Treatment involve rapid surgery to control bleeding and delivery the baby.A hysterectomy may be required to control the bleeding.Blood transfusions may be given to replace blood loss.Women who have had a prior rupture are generally recommended to have C-sections in subsequent pregnancies.
Emergency exploratory laparotomy with cesarean delivery accompanied by fluid and blood transfusion are indicated for the management of uterine rupture. Depending on the nature of the rupture and the condition of the patient, the uterus may be either repaired or removed (cesarean hysterectomy).
