серклаж Cerclage Explanation: What is cervical cerclage? Cervical cerclage is a surgical procedure used to keep the cervix closed during pregnancy. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus and extends into the vagina. During normal pregnancy it remains closed until the third trimester. When is it used? Cervical cerclage is used to prevent a miscarriage or premature delivery if you have an incompetent cervix. An incompetent cervix is a cervix that opens without labor too early in a pregnancy. Stitching around the cervix helps keep it closed as the baby grows. The procedure may be used if you have a history of miscarriages during the middle third of pregnancy. If you have a history of second-trimester miscarriages, a cerclage may be done at the beginning of your second trimester. Otherwise it may be done at the time Dr. Asch or Lynch finds that your cervix is opening too early. An alternative treatment for an incompetent cervix is bedrest that may last for several months. http://folsomobgyn.com/cervical_cerclage.htm |
