Abstract
The first reported gestational use of the Gore-Tex soft tissue patch (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) for uterine repair and support is presented in a pregnant woman whose partially dehisced, congenitally abnormal uterus was operated upon at 19 weeks' gestation. Use of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene Gore-Tex soft tissue patch for assisted uterine integrity in combination with a program of uterine tocolysis and close maternal/fetal surveillance averted a pregnancy loss.Entities:
