title: [Early diagnosis of uterine rupture after previous cesarean section].
abstract: A new diagnostic measure for the early detection of still uterus rupture before birth and previous cesarian section is reported. With a portio ready for birth, which permits the finger to pass readily, the possibility exists, after stripping of the membranes, to examine digitally the old caesarian scar in respect of a beginning or already existing scar dehiscence. In 112 investigated patients with this method, once a beginning, six times an incomplete and once a complete uterus rupture prior to another partus was seen. In six cases a stenosis was found in the old section region with retention of the foetal head and threatening uterus rupture.
