Popis: Laparoscopic salpingectomy (LPSC) is the main treatment for ectopic pregnancy, which leads to spontaneous uterine rupture (UR) during pregnancy. We report the characteristics of a woman who had spontaneous UR during pregnancy with a history of salpingectomy. We experienced a 31-year-old woman with a UR in pregnancy with a history of LPSC twice. The patient had a successful pregnancy. We also performed a literature review including cases with spontaneous UR after LPSC. Twenty-seven case reports of 48 women were included in our review. Thirty-five (83.33%, 35/42) women previously received LPSC and 15 (31.25%) developed interstitial pregnancies. The interval between pregnancy and the last surgery did not affect the frequency of interstitial pregnancy and gestational age. Fetal outcomes in patients with UR at the third trimester were better than those at the first and second trimesters. We suggest that close observation and timely treatment by experienced clinicians lead to good outcomes of pregnant women with suspected UR.
