Cervical suture (also known as cervical cerclage)

Dr Gibb has a special interest and expertise in the treatment of women who have had recurrent miscarriages in the middle part of pregnancy. If this applies to you, Dr Gibb will carry out a full analysis to find out whether weakness of the cervix (cervical incompetence) is playing a role.

Cervical Suture – also called Cervical Cerclage – can help prevent a miscarriage in certain cases where cervical weakness is playing a role. A cervical suture is a nylon tape stitch placed around the upper part on the cervix to lengthen and strengthen it.
