Rupture of the uterus is a deadly obstetric complication. Its occurrence is uncommon and much less common in the second trimester. Given that the mother and fetus are in danger, it is a catastrophe for both. The incidence has increased in recent years as the cesarean section rate has increased, but in developing nations, multiparity and the inappropriate use of uterotonics are more common. This potentially disastrous event may have a vague initial presentation. Here forth, we present a case with solitary right lateral wall uterine rupture covering the entire length of the uterus, the fetus and placenta enclosed in between the broad ligament leaves, most likely due to injudicious misoprostol use at a private health care center superimposed on multiparity, and a literature review. As far as we know, this is the first instance of an isolated right lateral uterine wall rupture sparing the lower segment and, with the fetus trapped between the broad ligaments simulating abdominal pregnancy.
Background: We regularly face pregnancy with fibroid since pregnancy at advanced ages has been more prevalent and the prevalence of lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) has also increased over the previous three decades. Myomectomy with cesarean section has historically been avoided because of the danger of haemorrhage, but obstetricians now place more emphasis on it. Since fibroids can range widely in terms of location, size, and patient features, the intervention should be individualized. Under this article, we, therefore, provide a case series of seven pregnant women with uterine myomas who had delivery via LSCS.
Method: Seven pregnant patients who had uterine fibroid and undergone cesarean section were enrolled in this observational study done over the period of one year with consent and after taking ethical approval.
Results: The mean age was 27.7 years. Three of the cases were primigravida, while the remainder were multigravida. One patient had red degeneration and was hospitalized with abdominal discomfort at 29 weeks gestation. Four patients had a solitary fibroid, while the three had numerous. The biggest myoma size was 8×7 cm, while the smallest was 5×5 cm. Due to the presence of the fibroid in the lower segment of the uterus, three patients had a caesarean myomectomy, while in rest four cases it was not done. During cesarean myomectomy, two of them had uterine artery ligation to limit the moderate intraoperative haemorrhage.
Conclusion: If the patient is wisely chosen and the surgeon has the experience, a caesarean myomectomy can be performed safely and successfully during LSCS, especially if located in the lower uterine segment (LUS).
Endometriosis has been more common in recent decades as a result of improved diagnosis supported by enhanced clinical concepts and greater imaging tools. A multidisciplinary care strategy that extends beyond the cellular level is required for this complicated pathophysiological condition to enable patients to live disease-free lives. This case study features a young woman who was diagnosed with endometriosis and was anxious about future fertility. The condition eventually led to a series of events that defined the intricacy of the sickness involved and the accompanying complications that were better detected, and so, therapy was comparatively simplified by imaging, which helped manage the ailment and its issues. The related complications are well established; however, with the impending use of 3D imaging technology, the disease, its extent, and associated complications can be managed in a well-planned manner.
