Comparison of transvaginal cervical cerclage versus laparoscopic abdominal cervical cerclage in cervical insufficiency: a retrospective study from a single centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cerclage has been proposed as an effective treatment for cervical insufficiency, but there has been controversy regarding the surgical options of cervical cerclage in singleton and twin pregnancies. This study aimed to compare the pregnancy outcomes between transvaginal cervical cerclage (TVC) and laparoscopic abdominal cervical cerclage (LAC) in patients with cervical insufficiency. We also aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety, and provide more evidence to support the application of cervical cerclage in twin pregnancies.

Methods

A retrospective study was carried out from January 2015 to December 2021. The primary outcomes were the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) < 24 weeks, < 28, < 32, < 34 weeks, and < 37weeks, gestational age at deli
