A comparison of emergency and therapeutic modified Shirodkar cerclage: an analysis of 38 consecutive cases
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes of patients with emergency versus therapeutic cerclage. Materials and Methods: The study included 38 female patients who underwent cervical cerclage using the modified Shirodkar method in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of Düzce University Medical Faculty Hospital and Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. Results: The operating time for the emergency cerclage group was significantly longer than that of the therapeutic group (30.40 minutes vs 19.85 minutes, p=0.001). Following the cerclage procedure, the cervical length was longer in the therapeutic cerclage group [29.90 millimeters (mm) vs. 22.45 mm, p=0.001]. The cerclage to birth interval was also longer in the therapeutic group (91 vs. 138 days). Conclusion: In comparison with therapeutic cerclage, the total duration of pregnancy after emergency cerclage is shorter, and newborns have a greater need for intensive care. Both methods, however, protect against advanced prematurity, which causes neonatal loss.
