Abstract:

Cervical insufficiency is one of the main causes of recurrent late abortions and premature births. Preterm birth can increase the rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality, which brings severe psychological and economic burden to pregnant women and their families. At present, cervical cerclage is recommended to be used in single pregnancy at home and abroad. However, there are few reports on its application in twin pregnancy, and the indications are not clear. In this paper, a case about the parturition of two healthy babies after twice cervical cerclages in twin pregnancy is reported and relevant literature are reviewed to explore the application of cervical ligation in twin pregnancy.
