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. 1. ACOG CPG, Obstertrical Cerclage, Sept 2026 2.
