Premature cesarean section with preserved membranes is an innovative
method of obstetric cesarean section. It mainly involves removing the fetal sac
and fetus completely after uterine incision during the operation, and then
removing the fetus after the membrane is ruptured and amniotic fluid is sucked
out. This surgical method can reduce damage to the fetus and reduce the
probability of amniotic fluid embolism. A 29-year-old pregnant woman,
with her first child, developed preeclampsia at 34 weeks of pregnancy, with
blood pressure rising to 160/110, urinary protein 3 , edema 3 , and accompanied
by dizziness. After undergoing spasmolysis treatment, she underwent a cesarean
section with preserved membranes to terminate the pregnancy. The mother and
fetus have a good outcome.
