A simplified approach to Shirodkar cerclage procedure. 1986

M L Druzin, and A S Berkeley

The success of the Shirodkar cerclage procedure described herein lies in the use of the medium curve White tonsil forceps. The use of this curved tonsil clamp allows compression of the vaginal mucosa laterally, thereby making it relatively simple to place the Mersilene band accurately submucosally and avoiding blind advancement of an aneurysm needle.

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.
