Cervical Cerclage Procedure: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Pre-surgical Preparations

The surgeon will thoroughly review your medical history and advise an ultrasound for the baby’s health. A swab test of the cervical space is taken to check for any infection; if any infection persists, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics, and the surgery continues after you heal. Follow the surgeon’s instructions for fasting, shower a day before surgery, and avoid jewellery, perfumes, and lotion applications.

Cervical Cerclage Procedure Steps

The surgeon makes a circular incision around the cervix and removes the bladder, followed by the placement of the sutures either vaginally or abdominally between 12-24 weeks of pregnancy, and the suture is removed between 36-37 weeks unless labour begins.

Post-Surgical & Recovery Phase

Depending on the type of anaesthesia and the approach used for initial recovery, the surgeon may suggest staying in the hospital for a few hours to a day. Wear a sanitary pad to counter light bleeding and other vaginal discharge for a few days. Get enough rest and prescribed medications to prevent preterm labour and infections, and attend regular appointments for monitoring pregnancy. Avoid unnecessary physical activity like intercourse post-surgery for at least a week.
