[Pregnancy outcome in cervical cerclage with repositioning of prolapsed fetal membranes].

In the past five years cerclage was performed at the Department in 265 pregnant women (1.87% of all births). The outcome of pregnancy is presented in fifteen pregnant women in whom cerclage was performed with the reposition of the prolapsed fetal membranes. In five patients pregnancy was terminated on time, while four of them gave birth to premature infants, and the infants are alive. The total survival rate is 60%. In three of the women pregnancy was effected between the 29th and the 31st weeks, and their newborns died, whereas the remaining three women aborted before the 28th gestation week. The results justify the operation even in such unfavorable cases, as an attempt to maintain pregnancy.
