Implementation of a Three-Step Cervical Cerclage Technique in Prophylactic and Emergency Settings: Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes in Clinical Practice

A three-step cervical cerclage approach has been implemented at our center for prophylactic and emergency indications. This study describes maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes following this institutional approach and compares outcomes between indications.
