However, it is still unclear which suture material can provide the greatest benefit to patients who have undergone cerclage. This study investigated the effect of two different suture materials (Mersilene tape vs braided suture) used for transvaginal cervical cerclage placement on maternal outcomes of women with cervical insufficiency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective case\u2013control study, 170 women who underwent history\u2010, ultrasound\u2010, or physical examination\u2010indicated transvaginal cervical cerclage were categorized according to suture materials used for cerclage: a total of 96 received Mersilene tape and 74 received braided suture. Study participants received a transvaginal cervical cerclage before 28\u2009weeks and were followed up until delivery to assess pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. The primary outcome was gestational age at delivery. Secondary outcomes included preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), premature rupture of membranes (PROM), chorioamnionitis, neonatal survival rate, and neonatal morbidity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Out of 170 eligible women, 74 (43.5%) received braided suture while 96 (56.5%) received Mersilene tape.
