Rupture of the scarred uterus | OGCLNA | 15 | 737 | 1988 | Review. Bulk of literature indicates that "scar separation following a LTCS is not a sig. problem in clinical OB". Rupture is not higher than in none scarred uterus. "maternal and fetal morbidity should be negligible" Pitocin and epidurals can be used. Most separations will be heralded by variable decels. The detection of a scar separation in a non-bleeding pt. does not appear to mandate repair. "The uncertainties about future delivery must be explained to those unrepaired pts.." |

There is a marked difference in both maternal and fetal outcome between UR in scarred and unscarred uterus. Increased risk is PCS, high parity, CPD, malpresentation, oxytocin and unwise OB interference. 75% perinatal mortality but only 5% maternal mortality. Repair of the uterus and sterilization should only be performed when the UR is simple and transverse in the lower uterine seg. |
