[Cerclage in multiple pregnancy].

In a retrospective study data of 143 multiple pregnancies were evaluated. 41 group A patients were treated with prophylactic cerclage of the cervix, 102 group B patients received no cerclage, mainly because of the advanced gestational age at the time of the first visit to the hospital. No advantageous effect of the cerclage could be ascertained in respect to gestational age at the time of delivery nor to the birth weight of the newborns.
