Uterine Cervical Incompetence
Incompetent UTERINE CERVIX is usually diagnosed in the second trimester of PREGNANCY. It is characterized by passive painless cervical dilation in the absence of UTERINE CONTRACTION; BLEEDING; INFECTION; and sometimes with the amniotic sac (AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE) bulging through the partially dilated cervix. Left untreated, this condition may lead to premature pregnancy loss, such as HABITUAL ABORTION.

Traction
The pull on a limb or a part thereof. Skin traction (indirect traction) is applied by using a bandage to pull on the skin and fascia where light traction is required. Skeletal traction (direct traction), however, uses pins or wires inserted through bone and is attached to weights, pulleys, and ropes. (From Blauvelt & Nelson, A Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology, 5th ed)
Administration, Intravaginal
Surgical Procedures, Elective
Surgery which could be postponed or not done at all without danger to the patient. Elective surgery includes procedures to correct non-life-threatening medical problems as well as to alleviate conditions causing psychological stress or other potential risk to patients, e.g., cosmetic or contraceptive surgery.

Cervical Shirodkar cerclage may be the treatment modality of choice for cervical pregnancy. (1/47)
BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the use of cervical suture in cervical pregnancy. METHODS AND RESULTS: All cases of cervical pregnancy diagnosed and treated in the gynaecological department at the Sheba Medical Center between 1994-2000 were included in the study. Eight such cases were diagnosed. The first four cases were treated medically. The last four cases (the study group) of cervical pregnancy, including one case of heterotopic pregnancy, were treated successfully with placement of Shirodkar cerclage. CONCLUSION: Cervical cerclage may be considered as the treatment of choice in cases of cervical pregnancies. It may be the only therapy in cases of heterotopic pregnancies (intrauterine and cervical pregnancy). (+info)Elective cerclage vs. ultrasound-indicated cerclage in high-risk pregnancies. (2/47)
OBJECTIVE: To compare pregnancy outcome after elective vs. ultrasound-indicated cervical cerclage in women at high risk of spontaneous mid-trimester loss or early preterm birth. METHODS: This was a retrospective study comparing two management strategies in women with singleton pregnancies who had at least one previous spontaneous delivery at 16-33 weeks of gestation. One group was managed by the placement of an elective cerclage at 12-16 weeks and the other group had transvaginal ultrasound examinations of the cervix at 12-15+6, 16-19+6, and 20-23+6 weeks and cervical cerclage was carried out if the cervical length was 25 mm or less. RESULTS: A total of 90 patients were examined, including 47 that were managed expectantly and 43 treated by elective cerclage. In the expectantly managed group, 59.6% (28/47) required a cervical cerclage. We excluded from further analysis three patients who were lost to follow-up and three because of fetal death or iatrogenic preterm delivery. Miscarriage or spontaneous delivery before 34 weeks' gestation occurred in 14.6% (6/41) of the elective cerclage group, compared with 20.9% (9/43) in the expectantly managed group (chi2 = 0.219, P = 0.640). CONCLUSION: In women at increased risk of spontaneous mid-trimester or early preterm delivery, a policy of sonographic surveillance followed by cervical cerclage in those with a short cervix reduces the need for surgical intervention without significantly increasing adverse pregnancy outcome. (+info)Cervical Incompetence Prevention Randomized Cerclage Trial (CIPRACT): effect of therapeutic cerclage with bed rest vs. bed rest only on cervical length. (3/47)
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of therapeutic cerclage and bed rest vs. just bed rest on cervical length and to relate these effects to the risk of preterm delivery. DESIGN: Cervical length was measured in patients at high risk of cervical incompetence. When a cervical length < 25 mm was measured before 27 weeks' gestation, randomization for therapeutic cerclage and bed rest vs. just bed rest was performed. After randomization, cervical length was measured weekly. For statistical analysis, t-test and Fisher's exact tests were used and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Nineteen women were randomly allocated to receive a therapeutic cerclage and bed rest and 16 were allocated to receive bed rest only. Mean cervical lengths and mean gestational ages before randomization were comparable between both groups, overall 19.8 mm and 20.7 weeks. Cervical length was measured again at a mean gestation of 22.1 weeks. Mean cervical length (31 mm) was significantly (P < 0.0001) longer after cerclage than after bed rest only (19 mm). A cervical length > or = 25 mm was measured in 22 of the 35 included women, 16 in the cerclage group and six in the bed-rest group (P = 0.006). Of these 22 women, only one delivered before 34 weeks' gestation, which was significantly less frequent than six out of 13 women with a cervical length < 25 mm (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic cerclage with bed rest increases cervical length more often than bed rest alone. A postintervention cervical length > or = 25 mm reduces the risk of preterm delivery in women at high risk of cervical incompetence and a preintervention cervical length < 25 mm. (+info)Funneling to the stitch: an informative ultrasonographic finding after cervical cerclage. (4/47)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of ultrasound surveillance after cerclage placement and to propose a rationale for cervical sonography in this setting. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of 53 women undergoing cervical cerclage by a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, regardless of indication, and delivering between January 1999 and April 2001. Transvaginal ultrasonographic assessment of cervical length and the degree of cervical funneling after cerclage were compared to preoperative values and to outcomes including gestational age at delivery. Funneling to the cerclage was defined as membranes prolapsing down the endocervical canal until they reached the plane of the cerclage. RESULTS: Cervical cerclage resulted in a significant increase in cervical length from 2.1 +/- 1.2 cm to 2.9 +/- 0.8 cm after the procedure, P < 0.001; however, this measure was not correlated with gestational age at delivery. Funneling to the level of the cerclage was associated with an earlier gestational age at delivery 31.3 +/- 5.6 weeks vs. 36.8 +/- 2.8 weeks for those cases without this finding, P < 0.001. A statistically significant association between funneling to the cerclage and preterm delivery was identified irrespective of the indication (prophylactic or emergency) for the procedure. When descent of the membranes to the level of the cerclage was noted, it occurred by 28 weeks' gestation in all patients studied. The incidence of premature rupture of the membranes was also significantly greater postcerclage in women with descent of the membranes to the cerclage (52%) compared to those without this finding (9%) P= 0.002. CONCLUSIONS: Funneling to the cerclage is significantly associated with earlier preterm delivery in patients who have undergone cervical cerclage. Serial sonography up to 28 weeks' gestation is useful in identifying patients at higher risk for premature rupture of the membranes and preterm delivery. (+info)Clinical outcomes following interval laparoscopic transabdominal cervico-isthmic cerclage placement: case series. (5/47)
The purpose of this report is to describe outcomes following laparoscopic transabdominal cervico-isthmic cerclage placement in cases of cervical incompetence not amenable to a conventional transvaginal procedure. We reviewed records of the first 11 patients at an academic teaching hospital who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage placement as an interval procedure, using a technique we previously first described. For all patients, the clinical course, including surgical complications and outcome of all subsequent pregnancies, is briefly described. One case was complicated by a small bowel injury secondary to concomitant extensive enterolysis. Otherwise there were no complications. Mean estimated blood loss was <40 ml. To date, 10 patients have conceived a total of 12 pregnancies following the procedure. Two pregnancies resulted in spontaneous losses at 8 weeks gestation, two in deliveries by Caesarean section at 34.5 weeks, and eight in deliveries by elective Caesarean section at 38 weeks or more. Each delivery resulted in the birth of a healthy infant. In conclusion, patients who require a transabdominal cerclage may undergo a laparoscopic interval procedure and achieve outcomes similar to those following placement via laparotomy during pregnancy. (+info)Transvaginal sonography and fiberoptic illumination of uterine vessels for abdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage. (6/47)
BACKGROUND: Transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage is a procedure carried out to increase the fetal salvage rates in women who are poor candidates for the more usual procedure of transvaginal cerclage or for those with previously failed vaginal procedures. Although several modifications have been applied to the original procedure in an attempt to reduce the morbidity, bleeding arising from trauma to the uterine vessels during suture placement remains problematic. CASE: Our technique involves transilluminating the uterine vessels during placement of the 5-mm-wide Mersilene (Ethicon Inc., Peterborough, Ontario, Canada) tape suture through an avascular space above the junction of the cervix and the uterine isthmus. This obviates the need to dissect or tunnel into the broad ligament. Simultaneous intraoperative transvaginal ultrasonography is used to enhance high suture placement at the isthmus and monitor the fetoplacental unit. We have used this technique in a series of five women with cervical incompetence for seven pregnancies. All but one procedure resulted in live term births. There were no major complications. CONCLUSION: Simultaneous intraoperative ultrasonography and uterine vessel transillumination simplified suture placement during abdominal cerclage, and reduced the amount of dissection and bleeding. (+info)Development of a scoring system for predicting the risk of preterm birth in women receiving cervical cerclage. (7/47)
OBJECTIVE: To develop a model for identifying women receiving cervical cerclage at risk for spontaneous preterm birth <32 weeks. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of high-risk patients based on past obstetric history. Our inclusion criteria involved all patients with singleton gestation who received cerclage between 10 and 24 weeks. They were evaluated for the risk factors associated with preterm birth <32 weeks. Risk factors evaluated include: indication for cerclage, gestational age at cerclage placement, cervical length prior to cerclage, timing of cerclage (emergency or elective) and route of cerclage (abdominal or vaginal). Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to determine the risk factors associated with preterm birth. A risk-scoring model was developed for the prediction of preterm birth <32 weeks in women receiving cerclage. RESULTS: We identified 256 women receiving cerclage that met our inclusion criteria. Preterm births <32 weeks occurred in 51 (20%). Multivariable analysis revealed a cervical length <25 mm, a history of cone biopsy and emergency cerclage to be significant risk factors associated with preterm birth <32 weeks. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the best model for predicting spontaneous preterm birth <32 weeks in women with cerclage are 80%; 96%; 82% and 95%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The presence of a short cervical length, a history of cone biopsy and emergency cerclage were associated with preterm birth <32 weeks. Our model had a high sensitivity for identifying women who may benefit from a closer surveillance. (+info)The efficacy of sonographically indicated cerclage in multiple gestations. (8/47)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of sonographically indicated cerclage in multiple gestations with sonographic evidence of short cervical length (CL). METHODS: Between 1996 and 2002, all multiple gestations undergoing serial CL determinations in the second trimester were identified in 2 separate institutions. Cervical lengths were measured sonographically with transvaginal probes (4-8 MHz). Short CL was defined as a closed CL of 2.5 cm or less. When a short CL was identified before 24 weeks, the study group underwent sonographically indicated cerclage via the modified Shirodkar technique; control patients were placed on bed rest without surgical intervention. The primary outcome was incidence of spontaneous preterm birth before 32 weeks. The groups were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test and the Fisher exact test, with a 2-sided P<.05 used to define statistical significance. Odds ratios were calculated, and 95% confidence intervals were reported. RESULTS: A total of 414 sets of twin gestations and 92 sets of triplet gestations were identified. The median gestational age at delivery for twin gestations was 34.0 weeks for patients who received cervical cerclage and 34.4 weeks for patients with short cervix and no cerclage (P=.77). The median gestational age at delivery for triplet gestations was 34.1 weeks for patients who received cervical cerclage and 33.0 weeks for patients with short cervix and no cerclage (P=.21). There was no difference in the rate of spontaneous preterm delivery at fewer than 28, 30, 32, and 34 weeks or in the rate of preterm premature ruptured membranes. CONCLUSIONS: In our study of multiple gestations with short CL, sonographically indicated cerclage was not associated with a lower incidence of spontaneous preterm delivery compared with conservative management.
