ABSTRACT
Fifty cases of ruptured gravid uterus dealt with in the Mosul Maternity Hospital from January 1979 to December 1983 were studied retrospectively. The overall incidence was 1.1 per 1000 live births. The common etiologic factors were cephalic malposition, grand multiparty, obstetric interference and lack of antenatal care. Maternal and foetal mortality were 26% and 96% respectively. Twenty nine patients [58%] underwent abdominal hysterectomy, and 18 patients [36%] had repair of the uterus, of whom 6 [12%] had tubal ligation
