[Rupture of a scarred gravid uterus at 28 weeks of amenorrhea. Conservative surgical management and results].

Rupture of a scarred uterus during pregnancy is unusual, but remains a complication with serious consequences for both mother and fetus. It usually occurs towards the term of gestation and the case reported here is of interest because, atypically, the rupture of the uterus occurred some time before term in a scarred uterus and the immediate care provided was conservative surgery. The rest of the pregnancy proceeded to a successful outcome at term under clinical and obstetrical follow-up. The authors also highlight the additional precautions required in medically-assisted pregnancies in patients over 40 years of age.
