Long-term health after abdominal cerclage for preterm birth prevention
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how women who had an abdominal cerclage are doing in the long term. It aims to understand their health and well-being after this procedure to prevent early delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a procedure called an abdominal cerclage (a stitch placed around the cervix through the abdomen to help prevent early labor).
- Your most recent childbirth was more than 6 months ago.

This trial compares two types of surgery (one done through small cuts in the belly, one done through the vagina) to place a stitch around the cervix and prevent preterm birth. It may be a good option if you and your doctor are unsure which approach is best for you.
This trial looks at two methods of placing a stitch in the cervix to help prevent early birth in women who have had preterm deliveries or late miscarriages before. It compares a stitch placed through the vagina versus one placed through the belly using a laparoscope (a small camera tool).
This study tests if bed rest can help prevent early birth in pregnant women who have a short cervix (the lower part of the womb). If you have a short cervix, this might help you carry your baby longer.
This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
This study compares two treatments for women expecting twins who have a short cervix (less than 30mm). It looks at whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone hormone therapy works better than progesterone alone to help prevent early birth and improve newborn health.
This trial tests whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone treatment helps prevent early birth better than progesterone alone in women with a short cervix.
