What is cervical cerclage?
A cervical cerclage is a treatment done by a specialist that involves temporarily sewing the cervix closed with stitches, in cases when the cervical length is deemed to be shortening. This may help the cervix hold a pregnancy in the uterus. A cerclage is done to eligible patients in the second trimester of pregnancy to prevent preterm birth or miscarriage.
