- Title
Laparoscopic abdominal cerclage: An effective option for refractory cervical insufficiency.
- Authors
CLARK, NISSE V.
- Abstract
The article reports on newer evidence indicating an abdominal cerclage that improves neonatal outcomes compared to a repeat vaginal cerclage in patients who have failed one prior vaginal cerclage. Topics mentioned include the definition of cervical insufficiency, abdominal cerclage in 1965 for women with extreme cervical shortening, and comparison of abdominal and vaginal cerclage after one prior failed vaginal cerclage in the first multicenter randomized control trial.
