Description
Nika Bakshi, Gayaneh Nazarian and Stephanie Wong present, in 2026, two cases of womb tearing discovered after successful vaginal birth following a previous caesarean. Rupture is rare and can be fatal, and most reports focus on events during labour rather than findings after delivery.
One woman, aged 34, bled persistently after delivery. Surgeons found a small two-centimetre defect in the front wall of the womb and repaired it successfully. The second woman, aged 31, became unstable from blood loss. She had a much larger rupture plus a second defect at the back. Massive transfusion stabilised her at first, but renewed instability led to removal of the womb. The contrast shows how widely presentation and outcome can vary.
