Abstract

Uterine rupture in pregnancy is uncommon and often could be life-threatening and catastrophic. Myomectomy is one of the most common gynecological procedures and can be performed as vaginal, abdominal, and laparoscopic procedures. In the present case, a patient who was elderly primi at 33 weeks came with a complaint of diffuse pain abdomen in an emergency. She had a history of infertility 2 years back. During the surgery, uterus repair was done, and 4 units of packed cells and 2 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) were transfused. She was discharged in stable condition. Early diagnosis of uterine rupture after myomectomy can save the patient’s death.
