An Aid to Cervical Cerclage

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1973
Closure of the incompetent internal cervical os by whatever method presents few technical difficulties when attempted before effacement and dilatation have occurred. In the latter situation, unless the protruding fetal membranes can be reduced safely, their rupture during placement of the sutures is sometimes difficult to avoid. The following procedure

Cervical Cerclage

Southern Medical Journal, 1979
During a 20-year period, 40 pregnancies were managed in 32 patients with a diagnosis of an incompetent cervix, a ratio of 1:775 deliveries. Diagnosis before development of symptoms produced a 92% fetal salvage, with 68% reaching 36 weeks of gestation. Development of symptoms before cerclage resulted in only a 40% fetal salvage.

Cervical Cerclage: A Review of the Evidence

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2008
Cervical 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, 1978
The 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, 2005
Transvaginal 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, 2019
Preterm 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, 1980
A 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, 1981
A 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 ...
