Résumé
The presence of sonographic funneling is a co-predictor of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The aim of this study was to assess the outcome in patients with a short cervix and funneling after a McDonald cerclage or an Arabin pessary. We retrospectively analyzed data of 238 singleton pregnancies with cervical shortening <25 mm subclassified by either isolated cervical shortening ( In the pessary groups ( Pessary placement and cerclage should optimally be considered before the presence of funneling. Furthermore, there were lower rates of neonatal admission during pregnancy and a shorter admission time of babies after birth when mothers received a cervical pessary as compared to the group with cervical cerclage.
