Efficacy of transabdominal cerclage by open laparotomy relative to existing risk factors
The efficacy of transvaginal cerclage placement via open laparotomy during high-risk pregnancy is favorable and relates to fetal survival of 92%. Regardless of indication, pregnancy outcomes after transabdominal cerclage are similar, and independent of gestational age at previous preterm birth, cervical length before transabdominal cerclage placement, distance between transabdominal cerclage and external os, and additional progesterone administration.
