The operative report describes the membranes to be visible on speculum examination, protruding slightly past the external cervical os, with the cervix open 2 cm. I think that qualifies for a "rescue cerclage". A foley wasn't necessary. When the cervix was grasped, it was pulled over the membranes. My associate did the cerclage while I was at a genetics meeting, last week. Gary Kleinman Next message: Efrain Ramirez: "Re: Should I do an abdominal cerclage?"

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
