Cervical Cerclage

Cervical cerclage is a surgical procedure performed to prevent premature labor in women with a weakened or incompetent cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that holds the pregnancy in place. In some cases, the cervix may be too weak to remain closed during pregnancy, which can lead to miscarriage or preterm birth. This procedure involves stitching the cervix closed to prevent it from dilating prematurely.

Cervical cerclage is typically done between the 12th and 14th weeks of pregnancy, though it can be done later if needed. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia, and the stitches are typically removed between 36 to 37 weeks of pregnancy or if labor begins. In some cases, the cerclage may be left in place until delivery if necessary.

This procedure can be life-changing for women who have a history of early miscarriages or preterm births due to cervical insufficiency. While cervical cerclage is generally considered safe, as with any medical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, rupture of membranes, or premature labor. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential for ensuring a healthy pregnancy after cerclage.
