Ultrasound can provide important information for the assessment of cervical incompetence (C.I.) and for the follow-up of pregnant women submitted to a cervical cerclage. Attention must be paid to the technical problems involved in the examination and the physiological variations in anatomical configuration must be taken into account.

The Role of Preoperative Inflammatory Markers in Cervical Cerclage Success.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Health Sciences University, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital,
Bursa, Turkiye.
Objective: To compare the inflammatory markers between therapeutic and emergency cerclage and assess the predictive role of inflammatory markers for the latency period.
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Turkiye, from January 2016 to September 2022.
Mechanical analysis of cerclage as a treatment for cervical insufficiency.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ulsan University Hospital, University of Ulsan, College of Medicine, 25 Daehakbyeongwon-ro, Dong-gu, Ulsan, 44033, South Korea.
Background: The primary treatment for cervical insufficiency is cervical cerclage (mechanical support) with vaginal progesterone (biochemical support). Cerclage is a surgical procedure that mechanically increases the tensile capacity of the cervix. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the effects of cerclage from a mechanical point of view.

Department of Gynecology, Jiangnan University Medical Center, 68 Zhongshan Road, Liangxi Strict, Wuxi, Jiangsu, 214002, China.
Background: This study aimed to analyze the impact of preoperative cervical length before cervical cerclage on the extension of gestational days in patients with various diagnostic types of cervical insufficiency, including obstetric history-based diagnosis, ultrasound-based diagnosis, and physical examination-based diagnosis.
Methods: 168 patients were segregated into four categories based on cervical length: 0-0.4 cm, 0.
Efficacy of ultrasound-indicated cerclage without prior preterm birth.
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
January 2025
Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital, Chiba, Japan.
Aim: Our study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-indicated cerclage in singleton pregnancies with cervical shortening (<25 mm), excluding those with a history of preterm birth (PTB) and infection/inflammation.
Materials And Methods: Among the 1556 women admitted for a cervix measuring <25 mm via transvaginal ultrasound at Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital between January 2001 and December 2023, our study focused on 47 singleton patients with no prior history of PTB. After receiving information on both risks and benefits, 25 patients opted for ultrasound-indicated cerclage (cerclage group), while 22 chose expectant management (expectant management group).
Probiotics in the Prophylaxis of Premature Rupture of Membranes and Cervical Incompetence.
Nutrients
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 200349 Craiova, Romania.
Unlabelled: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and cervical incompetence (CI) are major contributors to preterm birth, a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Background/objectives: Disorders of the vaginal microbiota, such as bacterial vaginosis, have been associated with an increased risk of PROM, CI, and subsequent preterm birth. Probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus strains, have been proposed as a preventive strategy to restore and maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome.
