Abstract

Pregnancy loss at any stage is distressing especially when this happens later in pregnancy, and this further worsens when it recurs in subsequent pregnancies. The reasons for recurrent pregnancy loss and preterm delivery are diverse and multifactorial. One of the main reasons for these complications is cervical insufciency, which means the inability of the uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the absence of signs and symptoms of clinical contractions, or labor or both in second trimester. Rescue cervical cerclage also known as Emergency cerclage/ rescue stitch is fundamentally a salvage procedure to prolong pregnancy in women with advanced cervical dilatation or prolapsed membranes in the second +3 trimester. Here, we present a case study of a 25-year-old antenatal woman Gravida 4 Para 0 with advanced cervical changes at 20 weeks who beneted from the rescue cervical cerclage procedure to have a successful pregnancy outcome.
