==Overview==
==[[Uterine rupture overview|Overview]]==
'''Uterine rupture''' is a potentially catastrophic event during [[childbirth]] by which the integrity of the [[myometrium|myometrial]] wall is breached. In an incomplete rupture the [[peritoneum]] is still intact. With a complete rupture the contents of the uterus may spill into the peritoneal cavity or the [[broad ligament]]. A uterine rupture is a life-threatening event for mother and baby.
==[[Uterine rupture historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


==Etiology==
==[[Uterine rupture classification|Classification]]==
A uterine rupture typically occurs during early [[labor (childbirth)|labor]], but may already develop during late pregnancy. A uterine scar from a previous [[cesarean section]] is the most common risk factor. Other forms of uterine surgery that result in full-thickness incisions (such as a [[myomectomy]]), dysfunctional labor, labor augmentation by [[oxytocin]] or [[prostaglandins]], and high parity may also set the stage for uterine rupture.  In 2006, an extremely rare case of uterine rupture in a first pregnancy with no risk factors was reported.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Walsh CA, O'Sullivan RJ, Foley ME |title=Unexplained prelabor uterine rupture in a term primigravida |journal=Obstetrics and gynecology |volume=108 |issue=3 Pt 2 |pages=725-7 |year=2006 |pmid=17018479 |doi=10.1097/01.AOG.0000195065.38149.11}}</ref>


==Clinical presentation==
==[[Uterine rupture pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Symptoms of a rupture may be initially quite subtle. An old cesarean scar may undergo dehiscence, but with further labor, the paturient may experience abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Often a deterioration of the fetal heart rate is a leading sign. Intraabdominal bleeding, of course, can lead to [[hypovolemic shock]] and death.

==Treatment==
==Treatment==
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 needs to be removed (cesarean hysterectomy).
