Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Surgical Obstetrics

Background:

  • Cervical insufficiency concept evolved into spontaneous preterm birth syndrome.
  • Cerclage applications have expanded from acute treatment to prevention.
  • Growing use necessitates updated evidence on cerclage procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review current cerclage techniques and modifications.
  • Evaluate risks and efficacy of cerclage.
  • Summarize evidence-based applications in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of cerclage techniques.
  • Analysis of prospective data on cerclage modifications.
  • Synthesis of evidence on cerclage risks and efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Cerclage is now a key intervention for preventing recurrent spontaneous preterm birth.
  • Contemporary practice involves various cerclage techniques and modifications.
  • Evidence supports cerclage in specific high-risk populations.

Conclusions:

  • Cerclage plays a vital role in managing spontaneous preterm birth risk.
  • Ongoing evaluation of cerclage techniques is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
  • Evidence-based application of cerclage requires continuous research updates.
