Popis: An increased understanding of the reparative process in fetal membrane following surgical techniques may be helpful to decrease the risks to mother and fetus and avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes. The present study discusses histological evaluation of the fetal membrane following open fetal surgery. Chorioamniotic membranes (n=10) were obtained following birth from pregnancies that underwent open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele. The collagen distribution was quantified using picrosirius-polarization method comparing the suture site with non-suture site. The differences between the collagen fiber percentages at the two sites was evaluated by the paired t-test with P
