[Comparison of cerclage and cerclage pessary in the treatment of pregnant women with incompetent cervix and threatened preterm delivery].

Unlabelled: Cervical incompetence is one of the causes of preterm delivery. Ultrasound examination of the cervix has given the evidence that cervical shortening, dilatation of internal cervical os and funneling observed long before term are the warning signs of preterm delivery. Early diagnosis and treatment may serve better outcome.

Fractional curettage, hysteroscopy and imaging techniques: transvaginal sonography (TVS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of cervical canal involvement in cases of endometrial carcinoma.

The value of preoperative diagnostic procedures (FC, hysteroscopy, TVS, MRI, CT) used to evaluate cervical canal involvement in cases of endometrial carcinoma was assessed. The results of these diagnostic methods were compared to postoperative pathologic examination results. Evaluation of the cervix by CT was limited.
