[Conization and pregnancy--an analysis of various therapeutic measures for the prevention of premature labor].

In the period under review from 1/6/1980 to 31/3/1990 119 women with a state after conisation of the cervix have been delivered. For treatment of a resultant cervical incompetence there were used in 46% a cervical cerclage, in 7% a support pessary, in 20% the combination of cerclage: pessary and in 27% conservative measures. Retrospectively the final gestational week, the proportion prematured rupture of membranes, of prematurity and dates of the fetal outcome have been examined. The results demonstrate that a selection of patients has to be made with state after conisation according to the seriousness of the cervical incompetence giving the adequate indication for a conservative or active (cerclage and/or pessary) treatment referrend to pregnancy length and the uterine cervix findings. A general determination of only one treatment method for prophylaxis of therapy with state after cervix conisation is not advisable, be cause the results of all examined patient groups--after selection--were not significantly different.
