Abstract
Introduction
A myoma is the most common pelvic mass in the urogenital tract and can cause various symptoms. Myomectomy is sometimes performed as treatment. A myomectomy prior to pregnancy can cause some risks or complications. The most feared complication is a uterine rupture, with an incidence of 0.60%-0.75% reported in the literature up to 2012. The aim of this study is to review recent literature on the risk of uterine rupture during labour following a myomectomy.
