| description | Objective: To evaluate surgical results and pregnancy outcomes of preconception laparoscopic cervical cerclage (LCC) in women with cervical insufficiency. Study design: We conducted an observational study in consecutive women who had preconception LCC. Data was prospectively collected from 55 women at high risk of second trimester miscarriage and extreme preterm delivery due to cervical insufficiency who underwent pre-conception LCC between January 2017 – December 2021. This included patient demographics and relevant obstetric & gynaecological history, previous cervical cerclage, operative complications and subsequent pregnancy outcomes. All women included in study had at least one previous unsuccessful transvaginal cervical cerclage. The surgeries were conducted in private tertiary hospital in Hyderabad, India. The follow-up was until December 2022. The primary outcome was neonatal survival. Surgical morbidity and complications were also recorded. Results: There were 49 pregnancies of which 46 progressed beyond first trimester. 4.34 % (2/46) were delivered between 28 and 33 weeks due to preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). 13.04 % (6/46) including 5 women with pregnancy complications and one with unicornuate uterus needed delivery between 34 and 36 weeks. 82.60 % (38/46) women were delivered at or beyond 37 weeks of pregnancy. In those who carried pregnancy beyond first trimester, live-birth rate and neonatal survival rate were 100 %. All neonates had favourable outcome with no long-term morbidity. There were no intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications. Two women had long-term complication in the form of tape erosion needing further surgery. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that LCC improves pregnancy outcomes significantly in those with cervical weakness, without increasing the safety risk. |
