ABSTRACT
This study was designed to know the outcome of cervical cerclage in preventing pregnancy loss in patients with cervical insufficiency. This is a prospective study. Patients with previous early pregnancy losses were included. Cervical length less than 2.5cm at 12-16 weeks was taken as an indicator of insufficiency. Cerclage was removed at 37 week and patient and neonate were followed till one week postnatal. A total of 32 patients were included in this study. Fifteen patients had emergency cerclage and 85% had elective cerclage. A total of 79% patient delivered at term and 9% had abortion. Among them 72% patients had normal vaginal delivery and others underwent ceasarean section. Maternal pyrexia was more in emergency group. Jaundice was seen in 62% of the neonates and 17% neonates had respiretory problems. Cervical cerclage has a preventive role in singleton pregnancies with short and insufficient cervix
