Preterm Prematür Membran Rüptürü ile Komplike Gebeliklerde Amniyotik Membran İyileşmesi.

Aim: Our aim was to describe amniotic membrane resealing rates after at pregnancies complicated with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between 20-34 weeks gestation. Also factors associated with resealing are evaluated. Material and Method: Singleton pregnancies complicated with PPROM between 20-34 weeks gestational age and who were followed in clinic are included in the study. Definition of spontaneous amniotic resealing rates after PPROM was the primary aim. Detection of optimal latency time of amniotic resealing was the second aim. Obstetric outcomes are analyzed at resealed and non-resealed groups. Results: Total 114 patients are included in the study. 16 of them were at prior to 24 weeks pregnancy during membrane rupture and 98 were between 24 and 34 weeks. Amniotic resealing is detected at seven cases. All resealing cases occurred in first week after membrane rupture. The resealed group had longer duration times and better neonatal outcomes. Conclusion: Great efforts have been done to heal the amniotic membranes after membrane rupture. However, still there is not a success on this area. Spontaneous amniotic membrane resealing seems the best chance after PPROM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
