Received Date: Feb 05, 2021 / Accepted Date: Feb 19, 2021 / Published Date: Feb 26, 2021
Abstract
It is unknown to what degree the congenital uterine anomalies contribute to preterm birth. Even less data exists regarding what percent of these are due to cervical incompetence and if cervical cerclage improves newborn outcomes. This mini-review seeks to review of the risk of preterm birth in women with congenital uterine anomalies as a result of cervical insufficiency and the potential impact of cervical cerclage within this patient population.
