Repetitive Spontaneous Uterine Rupture in the First Trimester after Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A Case Report and Review of Literature

초록

Uterine rupture during pregnancy is one of the most life-threating complications to both mother and fetus. Uterine rupture after myomectomy generally occurs in the third trimester or during labor, therefore, uterine rupture in the first trimester is a very rare complication. Laparoscopic myomectomy scores over laparotomy in several parts. However, the possibility of uterine rupture in the following pregnancies should not be underestimated. We present a case of repetitive spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester (7 weeks and 10 weeks) and discuss strategies to prevent uterine rupture following laparoscopic myomectomy.
