Uterine rupture is one of the most dangerous birth accidents that an obstetrician can deal with. Despite the successful development of research on uterine ruptures in the last 15 years, we, unfortunately, are not yet in a position to foresee a rupture in every case. Only in cases that correspond to Bandl's theory can we really predict, under certain conditions, a break, although here, too, individual motives play an important role.
