    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Context:

    • Cervical insufficiency is a significant cause of preterm birth.
    • Traditional cerclage procedures can be invasive and time-consuming.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a modified cerclage technique using readily available instruments.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this modified approach.

    Summary:

    • A modified cerclage procedure was performed using a Mersilene band without incising the uterine mucous membrane.
    • The technique is rapid, bloodless, and suitable for third-trimester application.
    • Fifty women underwent the procedure, resulting in 48 live births with normal outcomes.

    Impact:

    • This minimally invasive cerclage offers a potentially safer and faster alternative for managing cervical insufficiency.
    • The technique's applicability in the third trimester expands management options for high-risk pregnancies.
