Shirodkar's Operation is a surgical procedure performed to prevent premature delivery by stitching the cervix. There are several synonyms for the word "Shirodkar's Operation" used in the medical field, such as cervical cerclage, cervical encirclage, cervical stitch, and cervical plication. Cervical cerclage is a more commonly used term and refers to the procedure in which the cervix is sewn closed with a suture. This helps to provide additional support to the cervix, preventing it from opening too soon and causing premature delivery. While the terminology may vary, the goal of the procedure remains the same - to protect the baby from preterm delivery and ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.
