Laparocopic Diagnosis and Management of Uterine Rupture in a Female Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatto)

摘要

Clinical diagnosis of uterine rupture is very rare and most of the cases remain undiagnosed (Hayes, 2004). Several etiological factors may be responsible for uterine rupture, which include trauma, uterine over distension, uterine anomalies, placenta percreta, late pregnancy, dystocia and pyometra (Claydon, 2003). Various authors have reported repair of uterine rupture by various methods, either per vaginum, by everting the uterus or by laparotomy (Pascoe, 1968; Pearson and Denny, 1975) in various animals. The present communication describes diagnosis and management of uterine rupture by laparoscopy.
