Summary: Two cases of cervical incompetence resulting from high amputation of the cervix are presented. In the absence of any significant descent of the cervix it is not technically possible to insert a cervical suture from the vaginal approach. A successful technique for inserting a cervical suture via the abdominal approach is described.
