Conclusion
Uterine rupture is a disastrous and fatal event for obstetricians and patients. In order to reduce maternal and infant mortality, obstetricians should give enough attention to the pregnant women with high risk factors by strengthening the monitoring. TOLAC is a safe and worth promoting type of delivery for the patients, and still has a long way to go in Shanghai and China.
