Reproductive performance following Shirodkar's abdominal sling operation.
Over a period of 4 years from January 1986 to December 1989, 79 cases in whom Shirodkar's abdominal sling operation carried out, were studied. All the patients were admitted either in active labour or as cases of abortions or for the treatment of infertility. The incidence of full term normal vaginal delivery in this study was 69.56% and the incidence of caesarean section was only 2.9%. There was one case of posterior wall rupture following previous Shirodkar's sling operation. The recurrence rate of prolapse was only 8.69%.
