Postoperative cervical length to predict success of repeat cerclage in singleton pregnancies with prolapsed membranes after prior cerclage

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of repeat cerclage (RC) in singleton pregnancies with prolapsed membranes following a prior cerclage and analyze predictive factors for delivery at ≥26 weeks of gestation following RC.

Materials and methods

Patients who underwent RC between 2010 and 2020 at the Hallym University Medical Center were reviewed. Women with singleton pregnancies with prolapsed membranes following prior cerclage were candidates for RC. We analyzed the characteristics, pregnancy outcomes, perioperative clinical and laboratory findings, and postoperative cervical length (CL) to identify the factors for predicting delivery at ≥26 weeks following RC.

Results

Thirty-five women with RC were identified; the median gestational age (GA) at a p
