  • Title: Spontaneous uterine rupture at thirty-three weeks subsequent to previous superficial laparoscopic myomectomy.
    Author: Pelosi MA, Pelosi MA.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1997 Dec; 177(6):1547-9. PubMed ID: 9423770.
    Abstract:
    Obstetric uterine rupture has previously been reported after the laparoscopic removal of deep intramural myomas, but never has it been reported to follow the removal of superficial myomas. A 39-year-old primigravid woman with a history of a superficial subserous laparoscopic myomectomy was seen for acute abdominal symptoms at 33 weeks of gestation. Emergency cesarean laparotomy confirmed a spontaneous rupture of the uterine fundus with extrusion of the intact fetal sac into the upper abdomen. This is the first reported case of obstetric uterine rupture subsequent to the removal of a superficial myoma by laparoscopic techniques.
