title: [Uterine ruptures. 32 cases].
abstract: On the basis of qqq 32 cases of rupture of the uterus observed over a 5-year period at the Monastir University hospital (Tunisia), the authors recall the high incidence of this obstetrical emergency: 1 incident per 548 deliveries. The usual aetiological factors were present: multiparity, caesarean scar, mechanical dystocia, oxytocic dystocia and obstetric manoeuvres. The foeto-maternal prognosis is poor with a maternal mortality rate of 3.13% and a perinatal mortality rate of 46.9%. Treatment should be conservative whenever possible. The authors attempt to define a prophylactic approach on the basis of the aetiological context.
