Article Abstract
Preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes precedes around 30% of spontaneous preterm births. As well as its associations with complications of prematurity, it is additionally associated with pulmonary hypoplasia as well as increased rates of maternal sepsis and its sequelae. However, all stages of clinical management remain a challenge: from diagnosis, through to management and timing of delivery. This review discusses some of the major challenges clinicians face when caring for women with preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes.

Purpose: The purpose of this document is to review current methods for cervical ripening and to summarize the effectiveness of these approaches based on appropriately conducted outcomes-based research. This document focuses on cervical ripening in individuals with term, singleton, vertex pregnancies with membranes intact, because this is the population in whom most studies were conducted. For more information on recommended timing of delivery based on maternal, fetal, and obstetric conditions and on labor management, refer to: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee Opinion No.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has reduced rates of cervical cancer. Research suggests that women with HPV, precancerous disease, and prior invasive treatments are at increased risk of preterm birth. This study aimed to determine if there is a reduction in adverse obstetric outcomes for HPV vaccinated women.

Objective: Fetoscopic repair for open neural tube defects (ONTDs) has gained acceptance among leading groups, although it remains controversial owing to the lack of a standardized neurosurgical technique. In 2018, our group described a new fetoscopic two-layer procedure with an exteriorized uterus for ONTD reconstruction. This study aimed to report obstetric, surgical and perinatal outcomes for the first 50 cases since the implementation of this technique and to provide comparative data with open fetal surgery studies.
