Uterine rupture during labor after combined treatment of infiltrative endometriosis: a case report

This paper presents a clinical case report describing uterine rupture during labor in a 36-year-old woman with a history of deep infiltrative endometriosis who underwent combined surgical/endometriosis-directed treatment and subsequently conceived. Using her clinical history and perioperative findings, the authors report that after treatment for endometriosis-related lesions (including laparoscopic excision and related procedures), she entered labor at term and developed uterine rupture requiring urgent laparotomy and surgical management, with details on intraoperative rupture and blood loss. The report frames the rarity of such events and provides an explicit limitation that, as a single case report, it cannot establish causal risk estimates or generalizable timing-related effects. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically describes uterine rupture during labor after treatment for infiltrative/external genital endometriosis.
