  • Title: Neonatal rectovaginal tear during cesarean section.
    Author: Lickstein DA, Moriarty KP, Feins NR.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1998 Aug; 33(8):1315-6. PubMed ID: 9722014.
    Abstract:
    Intrauterine rectovaginal tears are an infrequent and life-threatening complication of breech presentation. One previous case has been presented in the literature with a fatal outcome. The authors report a second case of a severe rectovaginal intrauterine tear sustained during cesarean delivery. Prompt administration of antibiotics followed by debridement and primary repair was performed with a successful outcome.
