The word CERCLAGE comes from the French word, cercle, meaning "hooping" or "encirclement". Cerclage was traditionally reserved for cervical insufficiency but is now a recognized option for patients with a history of preterm birth and a short cervix noted on ultrasound between 16-24 weeks. There are three (3) main indications for obstetrical, cervical cerclage: History-Based, Ultrasound-Based, and Physical- Exam Based. In this episode, we will summarize the key takeaways from the new ACOG CPG on OBSTETRICAL CERCLAGE, being released in September 2026.
