Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the uterus in primigravida at third trimester after laparoscopic cornual resection is very rare and may lead to serious obstetric complications. A 24-year-old primigravida woman with 39 weeks of pregnancy with history of laparoscopic left cornual resection presented with abruptio placenta. However, rupture left cornu of uterus was diagnosed shortly after successful vaginal delivery. Although rupture uterus after laparoscopic cornual resection is a rare entity, however a great care should be taken during the procedure to leave a strong cornual scar and prevent maternal morbidity and mortality.
