Uterine rupture is an established risk of previous uterine trauma. Conventionally this has been considered most likely following prior classical or midline hysterotomies at cesarean section or subsequent to abdominal myomectomy in which the uterine cavity was breached. Although there are reports of such cases after laparoscopic procedures such as myomectomy the incidence is believed to be very small. We present an extreme case of uterine rupture at 27 weeks with a previous laparoscopically repaired uterine perforation.
