The diameter of the bulging prolapsed membranes ranged from 0.0-10.0 cm, with a median of 2.0 cm. Prolongation of the pregnancy period was from 8 to 138 days, with a median of 29 days. No maternal complications including infections, cervical laceration and cervical bleeding were observed perioperative period.CONCLUSION:
