Laparoscopic Cerclage

Laparoscopic Cerclage

Laparoscopic Cerclage is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to prevent recurrent miscarriages or preterm birth caused by cervical incompetence. In this procedure, a strong suture is placed around the cervix using laparoscopic techniques to provide additional support during pregnancy and reduce the risk of premature cervical dilation.

When to Opt for Laparoscopic Cerclage?

  • For women with cervical incompetence or weak cervix
  • In cases of recurrent second-trimester pregnancy losses
  • When vaginal cerclage has failed in the past
  • For women with congenital or acquired cervical abnormalities
  • If recommended by the gynecologist based on medical history

Precautions During the Procedure

  • Performed only by experienced laparoscopic surgeons
  • Proper pre-surgical evaluation and ultrasound assessment
  • Maintain sterile conditions to avoid infections
  • Close monitoring of pregnancy after the procedure

Post-Treatment Care

  • Avoid heavy physical activity after surgery
  • Take prescribed medications regularly
  • Attend follow-up visits for monitoring
  • Report any pain, bleeding, or unusual discharge immediately
  • Maintain proper rest and stress-free lifestyle

Risks Involved

  • Minimal risk of infection or bleeding
  • Possible complications from anesthesia
  • Rare chances of preterm labor despite encirclage
  • Discomfort or pain after surgery (usually temporary)

Steps in Laparoscopic Cerclage

  • Preoperative Evaluation: Ultrasound and medical assessment are performed.
  • Anesthesia: The procedure is done under general anesthesia.
  • Laparoscopic Access: Small incisions are made, and laparoscopic instruments are inserted.
  • Suture Placement: A strong stitch is placed around the cervix to support it.
  • Postoperative Care: Patient is monitored before discharge.

This procedure provides long-term cervical support, helping women carry pregnancies safely to term.

Advanced Technology

Using laparoscopy ensures minimal blood loss, faster recovery, less post-surgical pain, and high success rates in preventing preterm births compared to traditional open surgery methods.
