dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: Transabdominal cerclage can reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with cervical insufficiency. AIMS: This study evaluated outcomes following insertion of a laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage in pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study. PATIENTS: pregnant women who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage from 2011 to 2017. Eligible women had cervical insufficiency and were not suitable for a transvaginal cerclage. INTERVENTION: the insertion of a laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage in the pregnancy. MEASUREMENTS: neonatal survival, delivery of an infant at ≥34 weeks gestation and surgical morbidity were evaluated. RESULTS: Of 19 women who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage in pregnancy, at 6-11 weeks gestation, the perinatal survival rate was 100%. There were no complications. The average gestational age at delivery was 37.1 weeks. Sixteen women delivered after 34 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage is a safe and effective procedure in women with poor obstetric histories. It requires the correct skill, expertise and patient selection.en_US
