Abstract

Emergency cerclage is the only way to prolong pregnancy for women with advanced cervical dilatation with or without prolapsed membrane. Without cerclage, miscarriage is almost always inevitable. Emergency cerclage should be performed after considering indications, contraindications, benefits and risks. Further researches on advanced operative skill, prognostic factors and postoperative medical treatment will improve the outcome of emergency cerclage.

Key Words: Cervix incompetence, Cervical dilatation, Prolapsed membrane, Emergency cerclage
