Abstract

Rationale: Uterine rupture is a rare incidence but can lead to catastrophic maternal and fetal consequences. We still need to place a high premium on these cases.

Patient Concerns: The patients all showed hemodynamic shock with complaints of serious pain in the abdomen. They all had a history of laparoscopy or hysteroscopy procedures.

Diagnoses: Case 1 and 2 were diagnosed during surgery. Case 3 was diagnosed by an urgent abdominal ultrasonogram before surgery.

Interventions: We performed emergency surgeries for the 3 cases.

Outcomes: Three patients all recovered well. But only the child in case 2 survived.

Lessons: It must be emphasized that pregnant women with a history of such surgeries should be aware of uterine rupture during pregnancy.
