Popis:	Pessaries were used in medicine since ancient times, history of their use goes back thousands of years. Throughout its history, pessaries have not changed significantly, so modern products do not differ from the ancients. In modern obstetrics pessaries are used for treatment of cervical incompetence and prevention of premature birth. Transvaginal ultrasound is the gold standard for the evaluation of the cervix during pregnancy and allows a selection of patients with cervical length ≤25 mm for pessary installation. To date, the installation of pessary may be the main strategy for the treatment and prevention of threatened pregnancy termination in the II and III trimester of pregnancy.
