【 摘 要 】

Aim and Objective: The present research was carried out with an objective to determine the incidence, etiology, trend, and management, maternal and fetal outcome of ruptured uterus and to identify the preventive measures. Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted over a period of 2 years from Nov 2012 Nov 2014 in a tertiary care hospital of Mumbai, India. A total of 40 patients who came with rupture of uterus in pregnancy were studied. These cases were analyzed based on clinical features, etiology and risk factors of rupture uterus, the mode of management and the foetal and maternal outcome. Results: There were 40 cases of uterine rupture out of 32,200 deliveries giving an incidence of 1 in 805 i.e. 0.12%. Most common clinical features were those of classical signs of rupture with ill defined uterine contour, superficially felt foetal parts and absent foetal heart sounds. The commonest cause of rupture was due to separation of previous cesarean scar rupture (72.5%). The lower uterine segment was the commonest site of rupture. Rent repair was the commonest procedure done in the cases of ruptured uterus. Perinatal mortality of 77.5% and maternal mortality of 10% was observed in this study. Conclusion: Skilled attendance with accessible emergency obstetric care and focused antenatal care are key elements for the prevention and management of uterine rupture.
