Clinical Trial Summary

The investigator aimed to compare the effect of anesthesia on overall postoperative outcomes including post-operative pain score and the fetal well-being (heart rate) in patients undergoing transabdominal cervico isthmic cerclage(TCIC). The investigator divided the patients into two groups. The first group was the patients who undergo general anesthesia with postoperative wound patient-controlled analgesia device(PCA) and the second group was the patients who undergo combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSE) with postoperative epidural catheter PCA device for pain control.


Clinical Trial Description

Transabdominal cervico isthmic cerclage(TCIC) is performed for the pregnants with Incompetent Internal Os of the Cervix(IIOC) to maintain pregnancy. It is the operation that incise the lower abdomen and ligate the cervix in pelvic cavity. In our center, the surgery was conventionally performed under general anesthesia. Also, for pain control, operator has been inserting a catheter into the incision site and connected the wound PCA. In this way, there were some limitations that the wound PCA could only control the somatic pain and there were significant rates of post-operative nausea and vomiting as common complication of general anesthesia. Thus, the investigator planned to conduct combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSE) with postoperative pain control with epidural catheter and compare overall postoperative outcomes with conventional general anesthesia. ;
