It was thought to be impossible to prolong the pregnancy in a case of uterine rupture in the second trimester. We encountered a case of rupture of the pregnant uterus in early mid-trimester, which we repaired with suture and overlapping of collagen fleece coated with fibrin glue, resulting in pregnancy prolongation until the 34th week. Our case and five previously reported cases were reviewed. Pregnant uterine rupture in mid-trimester could be repaired with suture and overlapping of collagen fleece in the absence of placenta percreta.
