RESUMO
Pubic symphysis separation is an underestimated and badly treated pathology. It can be responsible for an important morbidity and therefore requires a fast and specialized management. In case of subsequent pregnancy, mode of delivery will have to be discussed due to traumatic past and maternal fear of recurrence. After two cases of patients who experienced preventive cesarean delivery after symphyseal separation in a prior pregnancy, a retrospective study reporting pubic disjunction cases during the last 10 years in our unit was made. Few data are available in the literature and risks of recurrence are not well-defined. Vaginal delivery may be proposed, leaving a wide place to discussion with the patient, evoking prevention and therapeutic possibilities.
