Risk Factors for Uterine Rupture after Myomectomy
SHEN Li
Abstract：Leiomyomas are a common benign disease of the uterus which may cause an impaired impact on menstruation and fertility of reproductive-age women, while myomectomy may be the best therapeutic option. However, the risk of uterine rupture after myomectomy is one of the most serious obstetric complications that threaten the safety of mother and fetus. With the development of endoscopy,more cases about uterine rupture after myomectomy have been reported, however, there is yet no consensus about the risk factors. It′s necessary to review the literature related to uterine rupture after previous myomectomy in an attempt to summarize the potential risk factors to standardize the myomectomy technique. Surgeons are requested to be more prudent in the process of operation, including limited use of electrosurgery, not breaching the endometrial cavity and multilayered closure of myometrium. Besides, appropriate myomectomy-to-conception interval and the way of delivery also play important roles.
