Fertility and Sterility, 1989
In the early 1950s, when treatment of cervical incompetence was first described, diagnosis seemed relatively simple and management favorable, but after more than 35 years of trying multiple variations of procedures and treatment regimens, no advances have been made. In 1959, Neser questioned the very existence of cervical incompetence as an entity, and

Cervical incompetence: current therapy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1960Abstract 1. 1. Two techniques of external os surgical procedure for cervical incompetence occurring during pregnancy are presented, “bridge” tracheloplasty being the preferred one. 2. 2. A method of grading the severity of this disorder is suggested. 3. 3. Ten cases have been presented with 70 per cent success.

Operations for Cervical Incompetence
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986At present, cervical cerclage is indicated in those patients with a classic history of cervical incompetence. For the majority of these patients, a postconceptional cerclage procedure is better suited because it is done after the fetus has been evaluated ultrasonographically for obvious abnormalities and after the risk for spontaneous abortion is past.

Cervical Incompetence—A Re-evaluation
Postgraduate Medicine, 1962The concept of “cervical incompetence-late abortion” is neither complex nor mysterious. The cervix is fundamentally a connective tissue structure whose major function is to retain the conceptus within the uterus after 14 weeks' gestation; neither the internal os, isthmus, lower uterine segment nor any other structure is concerned.

1990
Deferral of childbearing until later in life and the anticipation of a small, planned family mean that the emotional impact of recurrent pregnancy failures is now far greater than it used to be. When a planned pregnancy is interrupted for any reason, the parents expect competent, detailed counseling.1 Because of changing clinical social attitudes, a ...

Vaginal sonography and cervical incompetence
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2003Uterine contractions, decidual activation, and cervical competence comprise the fundamental components in contemporary models of the spontaneous preterm birth syndrome, but their relative importance and interactive pathways remain poorly defined. Moreover, the traditional concept that the cervix is either competent or incompetent has been challenged ...

Congenital cervical incompetence in primigravidas
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1963Abstract Moderate or severe congenital cervical incompetence occurred in 14 of the 716 primigravidas in this study; none had any history of prior cervical trauma. Sixteen other primigravidas showed a mild, but demonstrable, tendency toward incompetence. The cervices were congenitally eroded, patulous, thin walled, and infantile.

Cervical Incompetence and Preterm Labor
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988The ability of the cervix to function as a competent sphincter to retain the fetoplacental unit in utero until term is dependent on a complex set of biochemical, biophysical, and environmental events. The understanding of these interactions is limited at present and requires that cervical incompetence be a diagnosis of exclusion.
