title: [Emergency cerclage. Definition, technical procedure and prognosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on 27 cases on emergency cerclage. Six infants survived. Among these were four with birth weights over 2500 grams. The high abortion rate of 59% and the high perinatal mortality of the live born infants (5 of 11) make it imperative to be highly selective in this procedure. In emergency cerclage during labor or maternal pyrexia is contraindicated. Local and systemic antibiotic profolaxsis is recommended. Proposals for the definition technique and post-operative care in cases of emergency cerclage are discussed.
