⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Conclusion: Ultrasound and physical examination-indicated cerclages performed in the late midtrimester are efforts to prevent cervical insufficiency and its complications of pregnancy loss and prematurity, and in selected cases have the similar perinatal outcomes as history-indicated cerclage performed in the early midtrimester.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Introduction: Cervical insufficiency and its complications of prematurity and fetal loss are still one of the major problems of obstetrics.
📊
Key Findings & Data:A total of 61 patients who underwent cervical cerclage operation between January 2021 and August were divided into three homogeneous groups according to the indications and timing of surgery: The history-indicated cerclage group was performed in the early midtrimester between 12-18 weeks and the ultrasound-indicated and the physical examination-indicated cerclage groups were performed in the late midtrimester between 18-27+6 weeks and these three groups were compared in terms of perinatal outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical insufficiency and its complications of prematurity and fetal loss are still one of the major problems of obstetrics. Cerclage operation is an intervention with proven efficacy for the prevention of cervical insufficiency. The aim of this study was to compare the cerclage groups in terms of perinatal outcomes by forming homogeneous groups according to cerclage indication and duration of application and to develop new approaches for the prevention of prematurity and related complications in the light of the findings obtained. Method: This was a retrospective cohort study in a single center. A total of 61 patients who underwent cervical cerclage operation between January 2021 and August were divided into three homogeneous groups according to the indications and timing of surgery: The history-indicated cerclage group was performed in the early midtrimester between 12-18 weeks and the ultrasound-indicated and the physical examination-indicated cerclage groups were performed in the late midtrimester between 18-27+6 weeks and these three groups were compared in terms of perinatal outcomes. Results: As a result of our study, although adverse perinatal outcomes were observed more frequently as we progressed from the history-indicated cerclage group to the ultrasound-indicated and then to the physical examination-indicated cerclage groups, perinatal outcomes were statistically similar for all three groups. Conclusion: Ultrasound and physical examination-indicated cerclages performed in the late midtrimester are efforts to prevent cervical insufficiency and its complications of pregnancy loss and prematurity, and in selected cases have the similar perinatal outcomes as history-indicated cerclage performed in the early midtrimester.

Özet

Giriş: Servikal yetmezlik ve bunun erken doğum ve fetal kayıp gibi komplikasyonları, obstetrikte hala en önemli sorunlardan biridir. Serklaj operasyonu, servikal yetmezliğin önlenmesinde etkinliği kanıtlanmış bir müdahaledir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, serklaj endikasyonu ve uygulama süresine göre homojen gruplar oluşturarak serklaj gruplarını perinatal sonuçlar açısından karşılaştırmak ve elde edilen bulgular ışığında prematüre doğum ve ilgili komplikasyonların önlenmesine yönelik yeni yaklaşımlar geliştirmektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, tek merkezli retrospektif bir kohort çalışmasıdır. Ocak 2021 ile Ağustos arasında servikal serklaj operasyonu geçiren toplam 61 hasta, endikasyon ve ameliyat zamanlamasına göre üç homojen gruba ayrılmıştır: Öyküye dayalı serklaj grubu 12-18. haftalar arasında erken orta trimesterde, ultrasona dayalı ve fizik muayeneye dayalı serklaj grupları ise 18-27+6. haftalar arasında geç orta trimesterde gerçekleştirildi ve bu üç grup perinatal sonuçlar açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamızın sonucunda, öyküye dayalı serklaj grubundan ultrasona dayalı ve ardından fizik muayeneye dayalı serklaj gruplarına doğru ilerledikçe olumsuz perinatal sonuçlar daha sık gözlemlense de, perinatal sonuçlar üç grup için de istatistiksel olarak benzerdi. Sonuç: Gebeliğin ikinci yarısının sonlarında yapılan ultrason ve fizik muayene ile belirlenen serklajlar, servikal yetmezliği ve bunun gebelik kaybı ve prematüre doğum gibi komplikasyonlarını önlemeye yönelik çabalar olup, seçilmiş vakalarda gebeliğin ikinci yarısının başlarında yapılan tıbbi öyküye dayalı serklajlarla benzer perinatal sonuçlar vermektedir.
