This study presents a modified Shirodkar procedure for cervical incompetence, offering a simpler and safer method for cerclage placement and removal. The technique facilitates easier tape removal, reducing complications.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cervical incompetence necessitates cerclage procedures.
  • The Shirodkar procedure is an alternative when the McDonald procedure is unsuitable due to cervical anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified Shirodkar procedure for cervical cerclage.
  • To enhance the ease and safety of the Shirodkar procedure, particularly tape removal.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Shirodkar procedure involving a transverse cervical incision and bladder dissection.
  • Utilizing atraumatic forceps to guide needle passage for paracervical tissue grasping.
  • Placing the knot anteriorly and using a posterior silk thread for tape retrieval.

Main Results:

  • The modified procedure was performed without complications.
  • Tape removal was significantly facilitated by the described technique.
  • The overall cervical cerclage procedure was comparatively easy to perform.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Shirodkar procedure offers a safe and effective method for cervical cerclage.
    • This technique simplifies tape removal, potentially improving patient outcomes in managing cervical incompetence.
