Descriptions
Cervical cerclage is a way of keeping your cervix closed during pregnancy to prevent premature birth due to incompetent (weakened) cervix. If your cervix has weakened, your healthcare provider will likely recommend a cervical cerclage. This is to keep the fetus safe inside of your uterus until it’s time for you to give birth.
During this procedure, your healthcare provider will place one or several sutures (stitches) in the opening of your cervix to keep it safely closed during your pregnancy.
Your cervix is the lower portion or opening of your uterus. Your uterus is like a pouch or purse, and a cervical cerclage procedure is like strings that keep the purse closed.
Why is cervical cerclage performed?
- Incompetent (weakened) cervix. This can happen due to past surgeries such as LEEP procedures or other surgeries on cervical tissue.
- Past miscarriages from an abnormally shaped uterus or damage to your cervix.
- Past miscarriages during the second trimester that suggest weakened cervix.
The risks or complications of having a cervical cerclage procedure
- Infection.
- Damage to your cervix.
- Bleeding.
- Preterm labor.
- Cervical stenosis
- Scar tissue on your cervix.
