Laparoscopic Cervical Encerclage

  • Cervical incompetence is characterized by painless dilatation of the incompetent cervix and results in miscarriages and preterm delivery during second trimester.
  • Cervical incompetence occurs in 0.5% to 1% of all pregnancies and has a recurrence risk of 30%. Patients typically present with cervical dilatation in the absence of uterine activity after first trimester usually.
  • Cervical cerclage can be placed via trans vaginal, open -trans abdominal, or laparoscopic trans abdominal approach, preferably before pregnancy.
A laparoscopic approach is superior to the trans abdominal approach in terms of surgical outcomes, cost, and postoperative morbidity.

A laparoscopic approach to cervical cerclage placement is a potentially effective adjunct to the treatment of women at high risk of recurrent preterm birth.
  1. Laparoscopic and trans abdominal approaches both yield similar obstetric outcomes, and laparoscopic cerclage may be a superior method in terms of surgical outcomes, as suggested by several studies.
  2. Laparoscopic surgical techniques have now increasingly replaced traditional abdominal approaches to gynecologic surgery.
  3. Laparoscopic cervical cerclage is a minimally invasive, extremely safe , cosmetically better pain and bleeding is lesser, intra abdominal adhesion are less, patient feels better postoperative effective procedure in properly selected patients and should replace the traditional laparotomy technique.

Why Doesn't Every Woman Who Has Had A Preterm Baby Need A Cerclage?

Only women with an abnormal or "incompetent" cervix can be helped by a cerclage. However, even with the help of a cerclage, other problems can cause labor to begin too early.

Most women who need a cerclage in one pregnancy will need to have a cerclage placed in future pregnancies.
