What is Cervical Cerclage?

Cervical cerclage is a surgical procedure used to close the cervix during pregnancy. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. In some women, the cervix may start to open too early during pregnancy, leading to the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. By stitching the cervix closed, the cervical cerclage provides extra support to help maintain the pregnancy until the baby is ready to be born.

Why is Cervical Cerclage Performed?

Cervical cerclage is typically recommended for women who have a history of cervical insufficiency, also known as an incompetent cervix. This condition occurs when the cervix is weak and unable to stay closed during pregnancy. Some specific reasons for performing cervical cerclage include:

  1. History of Second-Trimester Miscarriages: Women who have experienced one or more second-trimester miscarriages due to cervical insufficiency.
  2. Previous Preterm Births: Women with a history of preterm births related to cervical dilation.
  3. Ultrasound Findings: If an ultrasound shows that the cervix is shortening or opening too early in the current pregnancy.

Benefits of Cervical Cerclage

Cervical cerclage offers several key benefits for pregnant women at risk of preterm birth or miscarriage due to cervical insufficiency:

Reduces Risk of Preterm Birth: By reinforcing the cervix and preventing it from opening too early, cervical cerclage helps to significantly lower the risk of premature birth, allowing the baby more time to develop in the womb.

Increases Chances of Carrying to Term: For women with a history of second-trimester miscarriages or preterm births, cerclage can improve the chances of carrying the pregnancy to term or near-term, promoting a healthier birth outcome.

Provides Emotional Reassurance: Knowing that a measure is in place to support the cervix can provide significant emotional and psychological reassurance to expectant mothers who have experienced pregnancy loss or complications in the past.

Supports Multiple Pregnancies: In some cases, cervical cerclage can also be beneficial for women carrying multiples (twins, triplets) who are at higher risk for cervical insufficiency and preterm labor.

Early Detection and Intervention: The process of monitoring for and placing a cerclage involves close medical supervision, which can lead to early detection and intervention of other potential pregnancy-related issues.

By offering these benefits, cervical cerclage can be a crucial procedure for promoting a successful and healthy pregnancy for women with cervical insufficiency.

Possible Risks and Complications

While cervical cerclage is generally safe, it does carry some risks, including:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Premature rupture of membranes (water breaking early)
  • Cervical tearing during labor if stitches are not removed in time
