ANTEPARTUM UTERINE RUPTURE: A LITERATURE REVIEW

This literature review was based on a synthesis of international and regional publications indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and eLibrary databases between 2000 and 2024. The search included terms “antepartum uterine rupture,” “uterine scar dehiscence,” “cesarean section complications,” and “maternal outcomes.” Studies describing pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, clinical presentation, and management strategies were analyzed. Priority was given to systematic reviews, case series, and clinical guidelines from the World Health Organization and professional obstetric associations.
