ABSTRACT

Objective To study the pre- pregnancy cervical cerclage method in the different cervical length of uterine cervical incompetence patients. Methods The clinical data of 128 uterine cervical incompetence patients having underwent pre-pregnancy cervical cerclage were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative cervical length was measured by transvaginal ultrasound. Cervical length >2.5 cm was in 60 cases, of which 34 cases underwent laparoscopic cervical cerclage, and 26 cases underwent transvaginal cervical cerclage; cervical length ≤ 2.5 cm was in 68 cases, of which 32 cases underwent laparoscopic cervical cerclage, and 36 cases underwent transvaginal cervical cerclage. Results For the patients with preoperative cervical length > 2.5 cm, there were no statistical differences in the postoperative pregnancy cervical length, gestational weeks time, perinatal birth weight, perinatal survival rate, gestational age of delivery and intrauterine infection rate between 2 methods (P>0.05). For the patients with preoperative cervical length ≤ 2.5 cm, the postoperative pregnancy cervical length, gestational weeks time, perinatal birth weight, perinatal survival rate and gestational age of delivery in laparoscopic cervical cerclage patients were significantly higher than those in transvaginal cervical cerclage patients (3.85 ± 0.37) cm vs. (3.16 ± 0.49) cm, (101.75 ± 4.71) d vs. (80.62 ± 3.53) d, (2850 ± 323) g vs. (2330 ± 585) g, 90.6% (29/32) vs. 69.4% (25/36) and 50.0% (16/32) vs. 22.2%(8/36), but the intrauterine infection rate was significantly lower than that in transvaginal cervical cerclage patients0 vs. 16.7%( 6/36), and there were statistical differences (P 2.5 cm patients with uterine cervical incompetence, pre- pregnancy cervical cerclage can choose transvaginal or laparoscopic. But for patients with the cervical length≤2.5 cm or previous cervical cerclage failure, laparoscopic cervical cerclage is better than transvaginal cervical cerclage.
