Feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of modified laparoscopic cervicoisthmic cerclage for refractory cervical insufficiency: A single‐arm clinical trial—Part 1
This study demonstrated the feasibility and safety of modified laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage for refractory cervical insufficiency. The procedure achieved a high delivery rate in the third trimester and a good overall fetal survival rate. The study findings highlight the importance of anatomical precision during thread placement in modified laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage. This technique is promising for treating refractory cervical insufficiency and potentially preventing second-trimester losses and extreme preterm births.
