    Emergency cerclage can save fetuses in cases of cervical incompetence. This procedure, performed on 12 women with bulging membranes, resulted in 10 surviving infants, demonstrating high fetal salvage rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervical incompetence is a condition where the cervix dilates prematurely during pregnancy.
    • Membranes bulging through a dilated cervix indicate a high risk of pregnancy loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of emergency cerclage in cases of cervical incompetence with bulging membranes.
    • To determine the fetal salvage rate associated with this emergency procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of twelve pregnant women with undiagnosed cervical incompetence and bulging membranes underwent emergency cerclage.
    • Cerclage procedure involved surgical closure of the dilated cervix.

    Main Results:

    • Ten out of twelve women (83.3%) delivered surviving infants.

  • The emergency cerclage procedure demonstrated a high rate of fetal salvage.

    • Conclusions:

    • Emergency cerclage is an effective intervention for cervical incompetence presenting with bulging membranes.
    • This procedure significantly improves fetal survival rates in high-risk pregnancies.
