Cervical cerclage is the sole surgical treatment for cervical incompetence, a common cause of second-trimester abortion. This procedure successfully resulted in healthy deliveries for 73.3% of women in a 20-year study.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Uterine cervical incompetence is a leading cause of habitual abortion and premature delivery.
  • Cervical cerclage is the only surgical intervention available for this condition.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Mac Donald cervical cerclage in preventing preterm birth and habitual abortion.

Summary:

  • A total of 272 Mac Donald cervical cerclages were performed between 1971 and 1990.
  • The study included patients between the 8th and 34th week of gestation.
  • Of the 272 procedures, 198 women (73.3%) delivered healthy infants after 37 weeks' gestation or with a birth weight over 2500g.

Impact:

  • Cervical cerclage demonstrates significant success in improving pregnancy outcomes for women with cervical incompetence.
