A Case of a Successful Pregnancy in a Woman with a Previous History of Spontaneous Uterine Rupture Following Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Abstract

In this paper, we report the case of a successful pregnancy in a woman with a previous history of spontaneous uterine rupture following laparoscopic myomectomy. There are only a few cases of laparoscopic myomectomy complicated with spontaneous uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancy, as reported in the literature. The interesting parts of this case are the additional assisted reproductive techniques employed, along with the substrate of thrombophilia. This case highlights, once more, the risks associated with laparoscopic myomectomy, particularly in nulliparous women, along with the need for increased awareness for signs of uterine rupture in a future pregnancy.
