Abstract
Transvaginal cervical cerclage was introduced as a treatment for cervical incompetence in 1951. Over the years, our understanding of this clinical entity has changed tremendously, which has implications for obstetric management. This review focuses on the obstetric management of women considered to be at high risk of preterm delivery due to cervical incompetence at different stages of pregnancy.
