It is characterized by premature dilation of the internal cervical os and shortening of the cervix from the internal os to the uterine cavity. It is associated with early pregnancy loss and premature birth. Cervical cerclage is a procedure performed at least 23,000 times annually in the United States.1 There are three techniques in use at the present time: McDonald transvaginal approach, Shirodkar transvaginal approach, and the abdominal cerclage. The first two techniques are technically easier and much more popular. All cerclage pro- cedures involve a circumferential suture or band tied around the cervical os to strengthen and support the cervix and prevent further dilation. The McDonald technique is simpler and is sim- ply a purse-string suture placed in the neck of the cervix as high S.

The Shirodkar involves dissection of the bladder and rectum away from the anterior and posterior aspects of the cervix to allow a imbedded band to be placed higher on the cervix, closer to the internal os.

  • Cervical Stitch
    Information for you Published in May 2018 Cervical stitch About this information This information is for you if you want to know about having a cervical stitch, which is also called cervical cerclage. You may also find it helpful if you are a partner, relative or friend of someone who is in this situation. A glossary of all medical terms used is available on the RCOG website at: www.rcog.org.uk/en/patients/ medical-terms. Key points • A cervical stitch may help to keep your cervix closed and may reduce the risk of you giving birth early. • You may be offered a cervical stitch if you are at risk of giving birth early. • A cervical stitch is usually put in between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy and then removed at 36–37 weeks unless you go into labour before this. What is a cervical stitch? A cervical stitch is an operation where a stitch is placed around the cervix (neck of the womb). It is usually done between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy although occasionally it may be done at later stages in pregnancy. Transabdominal A cervical stitch is more commonly put in Transvaginal vaginally (transvaginal) and less commonly by an abdominal route (transabdominal) 1 Why is it done? Babies born early (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy) have an increased risk of short- and long-term health problems. You can find out more about this from the NICE guidance on Preterm Labour and Birth, which can be found at: www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng25/ifp/chapter/About-this-information.

  • Chapter 9 Management of Cervical Cancer Complicating Pregnancy
    Page 91 Chapter 9 Management of Cervical Cancer Complicating Pregnancy Overview In recent years, cervical cancer is being seen increasingly often in younger women. More cervical cancer is detected during pregnancy due to women becoming pregnant later in their lives, in turn the result of later marriage. The basic treatment strategy is the same as for non-pregnant women. However, the treating institution must provide individualized management depending on clinical stage, weeks of gestation, and the patient’s desire to continue the pregnancy. If the cancer is at an early stage, concurrent cervical cancer treatment and continuation of pregnancy is possible in many cases. For advanced cancer, the management will differ depending on whether or not the fetus is at a stage in which it is viable outside the uterus. If the fetus is sufficiently developed, treatment for cervical cancer is promptly performed as soon as the mother delivers the fetus. If the fetus has not reached such a stage, the maternal life should be given priority, and the cancer treated. In recent years, neonatal medicine has rapidly advanced, and social values have become diversified. Accordingly, even if a cancer is found at a stage when the fetus is not viable outside the uterus, some patients and their families have a strong desire to wait to begin treatment until it is viable. There is no consensus on the allowable waiting period, and at present treatment should only be delayed with caution. Page 92 CQ33 How should cervical cancer complicating pregnancy be managed? Recommendations (1) Cone biopsy may be delayed until after delivery as long as a microinvasive or more advanced lesion is not suspected on the results of cytology, colposcopy, or biopsy (Grade C).

  • Development of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS)
    Development of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) Richard F. Averill, M.S., Robert L. Mullin, M.D., Barbara A. Steinbeck, RHIT, Norbert I. Goldfield, M.D, Thelma M. Grant, RHIA, Rhonda R. Butler, CCS, CCS-P The International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) has been developed as a replacement for Volume 3 of the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision (ICD-9-CM). The development of ICD-10-PCS was funded by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).1 ICD-10- PCS has a multiaxial seven character alphanumeric code structure that provides a unique code for all substantially different procedures, and allows new procedures to be easily incorporated as new codes. ICD10-PCS was under development for over five years. The initial draft was formally tested and evaluated by an independent contractor; the final version was released in the Spring of 1998, with annual updates since the final release. The design, development and testing of ICD-10-PCS are discussed. Introduction Volume 3 of the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) has been used in the U.S. for the reporting of inpatient pro- cedures since 1979. The structure of Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM has not allowed new procedures associated with rapidly changing technology to be effectively incorporated as new codes. As a result, in 1992 the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) funded a project to design a replacement for Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
