[Combination of cerclage and drug tocolysis in threatened premature labor].

The paper reports on the combination of cervix cerclage and tocolysis for treating imminent abortus and premature delivery. Up to now 59 patients have undergone treatment by this method. 37 children were delivered in good health at the approximate date of birth as estimated and survived. The number of survivals out of 15 prematures is 10, bringing the total number of survivals for these children whose life is in peril up to 47 (79,6%). The combined treatment of imminent abortus and premature delivery represents a reasonable alternative to other proven methods.
