Cervical cerclage vs pessary in women with a sonographic short cervix

, 2022
Purpose: In the present study we sought to compare the efficacy of cervical pessary to that of cerclage in terms of reducing preterm birth rates among women with a short (<25 mm) and ultra-short (<15 and <10 mm) cervix during the ...
