AbstractSeventeen cases of uterine rupture in late pregnancy managed over an eight-year period in one hospital in Hong Kong were analysed. Labour was associated with rupture in 16 cases, including ten with one or more previous caesarean section scars. Rupture occurring in an unscarred uterus was associated with high fetal losses and all required hysterectomy. All of these patients had at least one previous vaginal delivery, in contrast to the patients with a scarred uterus. Labour should be closely monitored in multiparous patients with or without a uterine scar, and oxytocics should be used carefully. Patients with previous sections who are scheduled for repeat elective sections should be delivered before 39 weeks.
