Abstract
Cerclage is the surgical treatment of isthmo-cervical incompetence. It is defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) as incompetence of the uterine cervix in the second trimester of pregnancy, in the absence of uterine contractions (ACOG, Obstet Gynecol 123, 372–9, 2014). This incompetence occurs in 0.5–1% of pregnancies (Lidegaard, Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 73, 35–8, 1994, Brown, J Obstet Gynaecol Can 35, 1115–27, 2013).
