New CPG on OB CERCLAGE (Sept 2026)

<p>The word CERCLAGE comes from the French word, cercle, meaning &quot;hooping&quot; or &quot;encirclement&quot;. 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.</p><p>1. ACOG CPG, Obstertrical Cerclage, Sept 2026</p><p>2.
