Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of modified vaginal cervical cerclage in the treatment of cervical insufficiency during pregnancy.Methods:The clinical data of 18 women with cervical insufficiency during pregnancy who received treatment in Changzhi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 (including nine cases receiving modified Shirodkar operation and nine cases receiving modified McDonald operation) were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The operation process was successful in all 18 women, and there were no postoperative complications. After modified Shirodkar operation, the average gestational weeks were prolonged by 14.7 weeks. Six cases had a smooth vaginal delivery [full-term delivery in five cases and preterm premature rupture of membranes (35 weeks + 1 day) in one case]. Three women had a cesarean delivery [cesarean delivery at full-term in two cases, including twin pregnancy in one case and previous cesarean delivery in one case; preterm premature rupture of membranes because of chorioamnionitis (32 weeks + 1 day) with poor prognosis in one case]. The rate of holding babies home was 88.9%. After modified McDonald operation, the average gestational weeks were prolonged by 11.5 weeks. Five cases had a smooth vaginal delivery [full-term delivery in three cases, preterm premature rupture of membranes in one case (35 weeks + 3 days) and in one case (31 weeks)]. Three women had a cesarean delivery at full-term [secondary cesarean delivery in one case, twin pregnancy in one case, and preterm premature rupture of membrane because of preeclampsia in one case]. One case had infectious abortion, and the rate of holding the baby home was 88.9%.Conclusion:Selection of different modified operations according to the length of cervical canal can prolong gestational weeks and increase the survival rate of newborns. The modified vaginal cervical cerclage is simple and easy to operate with minimal damage to pregnant women, which is suitable for clinical promotion.
