Cervical Cerclage: A Review of the Evidence
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2008Cervical insufficiency is a difficult and confusing diagnosis. Its diagnostic criteria, etiology, and treatment are all debated. Cervical cerclage has been a common practice in obstetrics since it was first described by Shirodker and then McDonald in the 1950s. Cerclages have been placed because of a patient's obstetrical history, physical examination,

The value of cervical cerclage in the treatment of cervical incompetence
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1978The results from the treatment of cervical incompetence by cervical suturing in 100 consecutive patients are presented. A fetal salvage rate of 88% was achieved when cervical suturing was carried out between the 12th and 14th week of pregnancy.

Strategies for prevention—cervical cerclage
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2005Transvaginal cervical cerclage was introduced as a treatment for cervical incompetence in 1951. Over the years, our understanding of this clinical entity has changed tremendously, which has implications for obstetric management. This review focuses on the obstetric management of women considered to be at high risk of preterm delivery due to cervical ...

Cervical Insufficiency and Cervical Cerclage
DeckerMed Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2019Preterm birth causes significant morbidity and mortality among newborns and is a financial burden on the healthcare system. One etiology for extreme prematurity is cervical insufficiency, a mechanical failure of normal cervical function, resulting in painless cervical dilation in the second trimester.

Temporary submucosal cervical cerclage
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1980A submucosal, easily removable cervical cerclage was placed in 37 patients with cervical incompetence. The perinatal mortality rate compared favorably with reports using other techniques, and the cesarean section rate was not different from that in the overall obstetric population.

Infectious complications of cervical cerclage
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981A study of 115 gravid patients who required cervical cerclage indicated that the optimum time to perform the surgical procedure was between the fourteenth and eighteenth weeks. If the operation is delayed until later in the second trimester, the incidence of chorioamnionitis is increased 2.6-fold, and premature rupture of the membranes prior to the ...

Cervical Cerclage and Preterm PROM
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2011Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) occurs in 38% of women with cerclage in place. Controversy exists on what to do with the cerclage in this clinical scenario. The objective was to review the literature addressing retention versus removal of cerclage after PPROM and present management recommendations.

Current controversies in cervical cerclage
Seminars in Perinatology, 2003Cervical incompetence is defined as the inability to support a full-term pregnancy because of a functional or structural defect of the cervix. It is characterized clinically by acute, painless dilatation of the cervix usually in the mid-trimester culminating in prolapse and/or premature rupture of the membranes with resultant preterm and often ...

Cervical cerclage aims to strengthen not only the mechanical properties of the cervix, but also its immunological and anti-infectious functions. The demonstration of a strong interrelation between cervical insufficiency as well as decreased cervical length at endo-vaginal ultrasonography and infection has changed the indications cerclage.
