Uterine rupture in patients with a history of hysteroscopy procedures: Case series and review of literature.

RATIONALE: Uterine rupture during pregnancy poses significant risks to both the fetus and the mother, resulting in high mortality and morbidity rates. While awareness of uterine rupture prevention after a cesarean section has increased, insufficient attention has been given to cases caused by pregnancy following hysteroscopy surgery.

PATIENT CONCERNS: We report 2 cases here, both of whom had a history of hysteroscopy surgery and presented with severe abdominal pain during pregnancy.

DIAGNOSES: Both patients had small uterine ruptures, with no significant abnormalities detected on ultrasonography. The diagnosis was confirmed by a CT scan, which showed hemoperitoneum.

INTERVENTIONS: We performed emergency surgeries for the 2 cases.

OUTCOMES: We repaired the uterus in 2 patients during the operation. Both patients recovered well. The children survived. No abnormalities were detected during their follow-up visits.

LESSONS: Attention should be paid to the cases of pregnancy after hysteroscopy.
