Abstract :

To determine the impact of improved obstetric care on the incidence, risk factor, management modalities & fetomaternal outcome of uterine rupture. Material and Methods - Retrospective analysis of clinical record of cases of uterine rupture at tertiary care center over a period of 2YRS (JAN2012 -DEC2013) Results - Analysis showed 10 cases of uterine rupture among 18,900 deliveries, the incidence being [0.05%]. Majority of cases [90%] were unbooked. Important risk factors were previous cesarean section [70%] and multiparity [90%].Rent repair [60%] and subtotal hysterectomy [40%] was done. 20% cases were associated with bladder repair. There was no maternal mortality while 90% cases were associated with neonatal mortality. Conclusion- Reduction in cesarean section rate - awareness about the signs and symptoms of impending rupture, careful monitoring during induction in a scarred uterus and counseling about need for booking and importance of institutional deliveries are important factor for reducing uterine rupture.
