Abstract:

We read the article; Delayed interval delivery or asynchronous birth of the second twin: a case report with a good outcome neonatal, published in the Ginecol Obstet Mex. 2019;87(7):475-482. Doi: https://doi.org/10.24245/gom. v87i7.3122, with great interest.

Although, the Hernández-Pérez et al, mentioned that during their successful delayed interval delivery (DID) management and after delivery of the first twin they performed a cervical fence or cerclage to prolong the gestation of the second twin.

Many previous studies mentioned that the use of the cervical cerclage during DID associated with increased risk of infection and did not improve the survival of the second twin.

Hernández-Pérez et al, mentioned that the protocols associated with this type of births are varied and we agree with Hernández-Pérez et al that there is no validated or standard medical protocol for management of such cases. We recently suggested protocol which may be helpful for management of DID and such cases and for the readers (Doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_5_19).

Dear eespectable Editor:

We read the article; Delayed interval delivery or asynchronous birth of the second twin: a case report with a good outcome neonatal, published in the Ginecol Obstet Mex. 2019;87(7):475-482. Doi: https://doi.org/10.24245/gom. v87i7.3122, with great interest.

Although, the Hernández-Pérez et al, mentioned that during their successful delayed interval delivery (DID) management and after delivery of the first twin they performed a cervical fence or cerclage to prolong the gestation of the second twin.1

Abdelazim and Munaifi2, Farghali et al3 and Abdelazim and Shikanova4, mentioned that the use of the cervical cerclage during DID associated with increased risk of infection and did not improve the survival of the second twin.

In addition; Arabin and van Eyck suggested that the use of cervical cerclage during DID associated with risks of infection5 and Reinhard et al, concluded that the use of cerclage during DID didn’t improve the survival of the second twin.6

Hernández-Pérez et al, mentioned that the protocols associated with this type of births are varied 1 and we agree with Hernández-Pérez et al,1 that there is no validated or standard medical protocol for management of such cases. We recently suggested protocol which may be helpful for management of DID and such cases and for the readers (Doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_5_19).4

Comment on:

We agree that the management of delayed interval delivery (DID) is controversial due to the absence of consensual protocols, being cervical cerclage the main cause of disagreement. We appreciate the recent studies provided in your letter (1-3), which will help us to update our handling of new DID cases.
