Cervico-isthmial incompetence develops in the second trimester of pregnancy. There are problems as to the correct treatment. The authors report four cases where stitches were put in late using the technique of "parachute" cerclage. This made it possible for four live babies to be born. A search of the literature shows that after late cerclage in 60-90% of cases pregnancy continues normally. But it has to be realised that complications do occur and these are mainly chorio-amnionitis which carries a bad prognosis obstetrically and also premature rupture of the membranes. The authors recommend this manoeuvre in spite of the risks because of the benefits that can be obtained. The procedure should only be carried out if there is no cervico-vaginal infection as determined by negative swabs and tocolytic treatment should also be given.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007752	Obstetric Labor, Premature	Onset of OBSTETRIC LABOR before term (TERM BIRTH) but usually after the FETUS has become viable. In humans, it occurs sometime during the 29th through 38th week of PREGNANCY. TOCOLYSIS inhibits premature labor and can prevent the BIRTH of premature infants (INFANT, PREMATURE).

D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D011256	Pregnancy Outcome	Results of conception and ensuing pregnancy, including LIVE BIRTH; STILLBIRTH; or SPONTANEOUS ABORTION. The outcome may follow natural or artificial insemination or any of the various ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES, such as EMBRYO TRANSFER or FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D002581	Uterine Cervical Incompetence	Incompetent UTERINE CERVIX is usually diagnosed in the second trimester of PREGNANCY. It is characterized by passive painless cervical dilation in the absence of UTERINE CONTRACTION; BLEEDING; INFECTION; and sometimes with the amniotic sac (AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE) bulging through the partially dilated cervix. Left untreated, this condition may lead to premature pregnancy loss, such as HABITUAL ABORTION.
