Premature rupture of membranes (PRM) during full-term pregnancy is a common obstetric complication. Childbirths on the background of PRM are accompanied by an increase in the frequency of the operative deliveries, as well as various obstetric complications. However, for all the diversity of tactics, techniques, clinical recommendations devoted to actions of a doctor in the management of PRM patients, the question of their choice depends on many factors. For more than 20 years of studying the PRM problem, a technique for preparing the cervix, providing 100% result has not been developed. With all the variety of choice of methods, none of them is devoid of shortcomings (contraindications to the use, cost-effectiveness, compliance of the patient, etc.). In this regard, the optimal choice of the tactics of labor in PRM cases is the insurance of the preservation of the health of the future generation.
