Description
Summary:A 33-year-old woman underwent a myomectomy via coelioscopy and then showed 5 years later a uterine rupture at the 32nd week of amenorrhea. The rupture was diagnosed after the echography, while there was no peritoneal maternal patency nor foetal consequence. After a cesarean and an uterine repair, the recovery of the mother was satisfactory but the newborn was to die at the 6th week of life. This obstetrical complication raises the problem of myomectomy via coelioscopy in young women, whose indications are being discussed.
