Objective
The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of cervical cerclage in order to delay the delivery interval after delivery of the first fetus in dichorionic twin pregnancies.
Study Design:
Records of 11 twin pregnancies where delayed delivery was experienced for retained fetus(es), were collected retrospectively. Cases with cervical cerclage placed after the first delivery were evaluated as the cerclage group and cases without cerclage placement were evaluated as the non-cerclage group.
Results
The median duration of the delay 25.4 ± 8.1days (range, 4–50) in the cerclage group and 7.7 ± 2.0 days(range, 3–17) in the non-cerclage group (P = 0.045). Average gain birthweight of the second fetus in the cerclage group was 408.0 ± 160.2 g and 93.3 ± 25.5g in the non-cerclagegroup(P = 0.061). But other parameters were not different between the two groups.
Conclusions
Cervical cerclage after the first delivery is associated with a longer inter-delivery interval without increasing the risk of intrauterine infection.
