Effect Of Cerclage Suture Type On Pregnancy And Newborn Results: Mersylene Suture Versus Prolene Suture

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare pregnancy and neonatal outcomes according to the type of the suture material used in the transvaginal cerclage operation. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent transvaginal cervical cerclage due to cervical insufficiency in a tertiary health center between 2020 and 2024 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic data regarding cerclage indications (ultrasound-based, prophylactic or physical examination-based), number of weeks of gestation in cerclage, cerclage suture type (prolene, mersilen), gestational week at cerclage insertion and delivery, routes of delivery were recorded. In addition, birth weight, 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) requirements were recorded as neonatal parameters. Patients were divided into two groups according to cerclage suture type (mersilene or prolene) and maternal, newborn and pregnancy outcomes were compared between these groups. Results: Comparison of the groups in terms of age, gravidity, parity, number of miscarriages and BMI revealed significantly higher mean gravidity in group 1 compared to group 2 (P<0.05), while groups were found to be similar in terms of age, parity, number of miscarriages and BMI (P>0.05). No difference was determined with regard to gestational week at cerclage application, cervical length, cervical dilatation just before cerclage insertion, gestational age at cerclage removal and delivery and birth weight (p>0.05). Groups were comparable in terms of subgroups established according to their numbr number of previous deliveries (p>0.05). Groups were comparable in terms of indications for cerclage insertion (p>0.05). Cesarean delivery rate was 40 % in group 1 while it was 43.6 % in groups 2, no statistical difference was determined in terms of rate of cesarean delivery (p>0.05). Similar number of newborns needed NICU admission between the two groups following delivery (17.5% versus 17.9 %p>0.05). Mean APGAR scores at 1st (6.8 versus 7.4) and 5 th (7.8 versus 8.3) min were comparable between the groups (p>0.05) Conclusion: Although mersilen stitch is commonly preferred, data analysis revealed similar results with prolene stitch in terms of maternal and neonatal outcomes.
