This video demonstrates laparoscopic cervical cerclage surgery performed by Dr. R.K. Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. The traditional open surgical treatment for cervical insufficiency is the vaginal placement of a cervical cerclage or abdominal cerclage by putting mesh through laparoscopy. However, in a small number of cases, a vaginal approach is not possible. A transabdominal approach can become an option for these patients. Laparoscopic cervical cerclage is associated with good pregnancy outcomes but comes at the cost of a higher risk of serious surgical complications. The aim of the video is to demonstrate intraoperative steps of laparoscopic cervical cerclage. This technique could be particularly useful if performed during nonpregnancy or during early pregnancy where the increased maneuverability and flexibility of the device permits better surgical access. If you are performing cervical cerclage in pregnant women then instead of a uterine manipulator fan retractor should be used. Cervical cerclage by laparoscopy is considered the gold standard for the patient in whom previous vaginal cerclage is failed.

Laparoscopic cervical cerclage surgery is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to manage cervical insufficiency, a condition where the cervix weakens and opens prematurely during pregnancy, leading to recurrent pregnancy loss or preterm birth. At World Laparoscopy Hospital, located in Gurugram, this highly specialized procedure is performed and taught using state-of-the-art laparoscopic technology under the guidance of experts such as Dr. R. K. Mishra. The hospital is globally recognized for excellence in minimal access surgery training and patient care.

Cervical insufficiency is often diagnosed in women who have a history of second-trimester pregnancy losses or early preterm deliveries without pain or contractions. Traditionally, cervical cerclage was performed through the vaginal route. However, in cases where vaginal cerclage fails or is technically difficult due to a short or damaged cervix, laparoscopic cervical cerclage offers a superior alternative. This procedure involves placing a strong suture tape around the cervix at the level of the internal os through tiny abdominal incisions using a laparoscope.

At World Laparoscopy Hospital, laparoscopic cervical cerclage is performed with precision and safety. The minimally invasive approach provides several advantages such as reduced blood loss, minimal postoperative pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay. The magnified vision provided by laparoscopy allows surgeons to carefully place the cerclage at an optimal level, improving pregnancy outcomes. Additionally, this procedure can be performed before pregnancy (interval cerclage) or during early pregnancy when indicated.

The surgical procedure begins with general anesthesia, followed by insertion of a laparoscope through small abdominal ports. The bladder is gently dissected away from the cervix to expose the cervico-isthmic junction. A non-absorbable suture is then placed around the cervix and tied securely. The laparoscopic approach ensures precise placement while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Patients are usually discharged within 24 hours and can resume normal activities within a few days.

Training at World Laparoscopy Hospital emphasizes evidence-based surgical techniques, hands-on skill development, and patient safety. Surgeons from across the world visit the institute to learn advanced procedures like laparoscopic cervical cerclage. The hospital combines academic excellence with clinical expertise, making it a global center for minimal access gynecological surgery.

In conclusion, laparoscopic cervical cerclage surgery is a highly effective treatment for cervical insufficiency, especially in complex cases where traditional methods may not be successful. With advanced technology, experienced surgeons, and world-class training facilities, World Laparoscopy Hospital continues to play a crucial role in improving maternal and fetal outcomes through minimally invasive surgical innovations.
