[Cervix cerclage surgery. A way for reducing prematurity]
Indications and results of 202 cerclage-operations are reported. There are prophylactic as well as therapeutic indications for a cerclage-operation. Regarding the results it is obvious that prophylactic cerclage has better prepossessions for a normally terminated delivery. Therapeutic cerclages show best results when performed within the 15th to 27th week of pregnancy. A cerclage performed after the 32nd week of pregnancy shows no statistically significant reduction of early delivery but only a postponing of the delivery-date into a phase of better survival chance for the child. A reduction of the early delivery rate is regarded to be effective by prophylactic as well as therapeutic cerclages up to the 27th week of pregnancy.
