by Introduction
Cervical insufficiency, a condition where the cervix is too weak to support a pregnancy, is a significant cause of preterm birth, affecting approximately 1% of all pregnancies. In emergency situations, Laparoscopic Cerclage has emerged as a lifesaving procedure to prevent preterm labor and save the pregnancy. Dr. Amit Tandon, a renowned Laparoscopic Surgeon and Gynaecologist at Dr. Kamlesh Tandon Hospital, IVF Center, and Robotic Surgery Center in Agra, shares his expertise on Laparoscopic Cerclage in emergency situations.
Understanding Laparoscopic Cerclage
Laparoscopic Cerclage is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves placing a stitch around the cervix to prevent it from opening too early, thereby reducing the risk of preterm birth. This procedure is typically performed between 12-14 weeks of gestation and is usually done under general anesthesia.
