Abstract

The development of myolysis has allowed number of gynecologic surgeons to treat myoma instead of hysterectomy or myomectomy. However not long time has passed since this operation started, little studies were conducted on this complication and side effect. Especially, there are not enough studies about complication and prognosis related pregnancy after myolysis. One of these complications, uterine rupture during pregnancy is not frequent, but fatal condition to both mother and fetus. We report a case of uterine rupture that occurred in early second-trimester who had been myolysis 22 months before pregnancy.
