Emergency cerclage was performed on 27 years old patient with membrane prolapse in 21 weeks' gestation. Ultrasonographically guided amniocentesis was performed intraoperatively in order to decrease intraamniotic pressure. Aggressive prophylactic management (wide spectrum antibiotics and tocolysis-nifedipine) resulted in pregnancy prolongation up to 30 week of gestation. At that time healthy premature newborn (1520 g, Apgar score 7 in 1st minute) was delivered by caesarean section. The mother was discharged from the hospital on the 4th postoperative day, whereas the child after 5 weeks weighted 2130 g.
