Surgical treatment of spontaneous rupture of membranes: the amniograft--first experience.
A 28-year-old woman underwent surgical repair of spontaneous ruptured membranes at 17 weeks' gestation. A collagen graft was placed endoscopically over the membrane defect located over the internal os. Membranes re-ruptured 14 days later, but the patient did not deliver until 30.5 weeks. The infant did well.
