title: Rupture of uterus treated with suture.
abstract: Between August 1983 and August 1985, 63 patients in labor with uterine rupture were treated at Sidamo Regional Hospital, Yirgaalem, South Ethiopia, mainly by suture of the uterus. None of those operated on died. We recommend suturing as the treatment of choice. Hysterectomy is rarely indicated.
