Patients with a prior failed transvaginal cerclage: a comparison of obstetric outcomes with either transabdominal or transvaginal cerclage
Article Abstract:
Transabdominal cerclage can be used to prevent premature birth in women who have not benefited from transvaginal cerclage. Cerclage is a procedure to keep the cervix closed so it doesn't open prematurely. It is usually done through the vagina, but can also be done via abdominal surgery.
