At Bhavya Hospital in Moradabad, we offer McDonald Stitch procedure, a proven method to help women experiencing cervical incompetence during pregnancy. Cervical incompetence occurs when the cervix begins to open prematurely, increasing the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth. The McDonald Stitch, also known as cervical cerclage, involves placing a strong suture around the cervix to reinforce it and prevent early dilation, thus helping to sustain the pregnancy to full term.
Our expert gynecologists perform the McDonald Stitch under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and medical needs. The procedure is minimally invasive, often performed as an outpatient surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day. Bhavya Hospital uses advanced techniques to ensure the safety of both mother and baby, closely monitoring the pregnancy throughout its duration. The McDonald Stitch is typically placed between 12 and 16 weeks of pregnancy, although the timing may vary based on individual cases.
After the procedure, our doctors at Bhavya Hospital provide thorough follow-up care to monitor the effectiveness of the cerclage and ensure the health of the pregnancy. We offer regular check-ups and provide guidance on activity levels and any potential warning signs. Our focus is on delivering compassionate, personalized care to support women through high-risk pregnancies, giving them the best chance for a successful, full-term delivery.
