    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Context:

    • Cervical cerclage is a treatment for cervical incompetence, aiming to prevent preterm birth.
    • Traditional indications include a history of cervical insufficiency.

    Purpose:

    • To review the indications and techniques for cervical cerclage procedures.
    • To compare the efficacy and suitability of different cerclage methods.

    Summary:

    • Postconceptional cerclage, including Shirodkar and McDonald procedures, is suitable for most patients after fetal assessment.
    • Transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage is an option for specific cases with cervical shortening, lacerations, or infection.
    • Preconceptional cerclage is reserved for rare cases with severe cervical issues and prior pregnancy losses.
