Purpose Of Review:
This review will address fertility and pregnancy outcome in women with history of uterine rupture.
Recent Findings:
Increasing rates of primary Cesarean delivery and vaginal birth after one or more Cesarean sections will lead to higher rates of uterine rupture. Recent advances in reproductive medicine, open fetal surgery and gynecological surgery may also play a role in increasing uterine rupture rate. The implementation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines on birth after Cesarean section will decrease the Cesarean section rate but may transiently increase the rate of uterine rupture. The maternal and perinatal risks of multiple Cesarean birth are much higher than those of uterine rupture. Women with prior uterine rupture are fertile. They have higher risk of recurrent uterine rupture.
Summary:
Every obstetrician is bound to face the challenge of uterine rupture or women with prior uterine rupture. Those women should have a favorable maternal and perinatal outcome when managed in a tertiary center.
