Design: Surgical Video
Setting: Academic tertiary care hospital
Patients or Participants: Surgical footage was obtained from one patient who presented for an interval cerclage and one patient who presented for a gravid cerclage.
Interventions: Laparoscopic abdominal cerclage
Measurements and Main Results: Laparoscopic abdominal cerclages were completed successfully in patients with non-gravid and gravid uteri with no intra-operative or post-operative complications. Our video demonstrates surgical techniques and considerations for both patient populations.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this video demonstrates techniques for improving visualization for laparoscopic cerclages in the non-gravid and gravid uterus.
