Abstract
We review the cervical cerclages performed at our institution in the last decade. The outcome of elective cerclages was highly satisfactory. Several clinical, analytical and ultrasound criteria were useful to retrospectively determine a subgroup of patients with an especially poor prognosis after cerclage. However, even in this subgroup, cerclage was successful in 30%. The management of emergency cerclage should be individualized; patients with less cervical dilation, less effacement and fewer inflammatory signs are those most likely to benefit from emergency cerclage.
