Abstract

Introduction: To assess the obstetric outcome of pregnancies occurring after a complete uterine rupture.

Methods: Descriptive study of a series of 11 pregnancies after complete uterine rupture.

Results: This study includes 10 women with 11 pregnancies. There were no recurrences of complete uterine rupture. All women had cesarean deliveries between 32 and 37 weeks' gestation. There were no cases of either severe hemorrhage or placenta accreta and no maternal or neonatal deaths. All women had close clinical and ultrasound monitoring and were hospitalized during the third trimester.

Conclusion: Women with a history of complete uterine rupture can have a subsequent pregnancy with a thoroughly favorable outcome with appropriate care conditions, including prophylactic caesarean section.

Keywords: Cesarean; Maternal mortality; Perinatal mortality; Recurrence; Uterine rupture.
