OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of cerclage placed in pregnancy via laparoscopy (CPL) in the first trimesteror in non-pregnant phase (CNL). METHODS A total of 134 cervical insufficiency patients who were treated with cervical cerclage were included. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. CPL group: 43 cases were treated with cerclage placed in pregnancy via la...

BACKGROUND Maternal cervical incompetence in pregnancy (CIP) showed an association with a higher rate of preterm births. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of CIP in Hungarian pregnant women, to determine the rate of preterm birth, and to check the preventive efficacy of preterm births due to CIP by therapeutic cerclage or bed rest alone. METHODS Analysis of the popul...

Objective To determine if cervical cerclage reduces the rate of spontaneous early preterm birth in cases of dichorionic–diamniotic (DCDA) twin gestation with an ultrasound-detected short cervix. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 40 consecutive DCDA twin gestations at Saint Peter’s University Hospital from November 2006 to November 2014 in which cervical cerclage was performed for...

Cerclage wires are regularly hired as fixation gear to resource reposition, enhance alignment and growth stability. In specific femoral shaft, subtrochanteric periprosthetic fractures gain from cerclage fixation. Also in supracondylar shaft fractures, extra cord cerclages proved be than only a reposition device accelerated the general power of osteosynthesis construct. This study tests for stab...

BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the use of cervical suture in cervical pregnancy. METHODS AND RESULTS All cases of cervical pregnancy diagnosed and treated in the gynaecological department at the Sheba Medical Center between 1994-2000 were included in the study. Eight such cases were diagnosed. The first four cases were treated medically. The last four cases (the study group) of cerv...

BACKGROUND Several techniques of emergency vaginal cerclage have been proposed in case of unexpected and abrupt cervical incompetence (CI), in order to prolong the pregnancy as much as possible and to reduce the adverse maternal-fetal outcomes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of emergency cervical cerclage, performed with the combined modified Shirodkar-McDonald technique...

OBJECTIVE To determine if cervical cerclage reduces the rate of spontaneous early preterm birth in cases of dichorionic-diamniotic (DCDA) twin gestation with an ultrasound-detected short cervix. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 40 consecutive DCDA twin gestations at Saint Peter's University Hospital from November 2006 to November 2014 in which cervical cerclage was performed f...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to estimate the risk of preterm birth in patients with an ultrasound or physical exam indicated cervical cerclage based on the results of fetal fibronectin (fFN) and cervical length (CL) screening. METHODS Retrospective cohort of patients with a singleton pregnancy and an ultrasound or physical exam indicated Shirodkar cerclage placed by one maternal-f...

INTRODUCTION We conducted a biomechanical study comparing cerclage wiring using a power tool with the traditional manual method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study consisted of 4 experimental arms based on the method of fixation and diameter of wires. The 4 arms were: 1) power tool method using 0.8 mm cerclage wires, 2) power tool method using 1.0 mm cerclage wires, 3) conventional manual method...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate pregnancy outcomes after electrosurgical conization. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 56 singleton pregnancies after electrosurgical conization of the uterine cervix. Of the 56 cases, 25 women underwent prophylactic cerclage with McDonald procedure (cerclage group), and 31 were managed expectantly (expectant group). Pregnancy outcomes including rate of...
