Uterine rupture in patients with a history of hysteroscopy procedures: Case series and review of literature.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE Uterine rupture during pregnancy poses significant risks to both the fetus and the mother, resulting in high mortality and morbidity rates. While awareness of uterine rupture prevention after a cesarean section has increased, insufficient attention has been given to cases caused by pregnancy following hysteroscopy surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS We report 2 cases here, both of whom had a history of hysteroscopy surgery and presented with severe abdominal pain during pregnancy. DIAGNOSES Both patients had small uterine ruptures, with no significant abnormalities detected on ultrasonography. The diagnosis was confirmed by a CT scan, which showed hemoperitoneum. INTERVENTIONS: We performed emergency surgeries for the 2 cases. OUTCOMES: We repaired the uterus in 2 patients during the operation. Both patients recovered well. The children survived. No abnormalities were detected during their follow-up visits. LESSONS Attention should be paid to the cases of pregnancy after hysteroscopy.
