Management of Incompetent Cervix and Bulging Fetal Membrane by Modified Shirodkar Method / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Two patients, bulging fetal membrane accompanied with cervical dilatation & effacement in the late second-trimester, were treated by modified Shirodkar method. Pregnancies were prolonged effectively and viable fetuses were delivered in both cases. Our cases may help make objective decision prior to attempting cerclage placement when cervix is markedly dilated and something should be done to save pregnancy.
