Abstrakt		Objective: To present our innovative surgical method for prevention of early preterm delivery in women with cervical dilatation and membrane herniation. Study design: A woman in the 24th gestational week, with membrane herniation due to a 2-3 cm dilatation of the cervix, is presented. The surgical technique for occlusion and reinforcement of the dilated cervix with circular suture and polypropylene mesh is described. Results: We succeeded in preventing early preterm delivery and achieving 38 gestational weeks when the mesh cerclage was electively removed. Conclusions: Occlusion of the dilated cervix by mesh cerclage is a promising new surgical possibility of preventing early preterm delivery and achieving fetal maturity in women with dilated cervix and membrane herniation.
