Laparoscopic Abdominal Cerclage performed by Dr Nodada at Netcare Parklands Hospital, Durban:
Advanced Care for Cervical Insufficiency.
For women who have experienced second-trimester miscarriages or an extremely premature birth associated with cervical insufficiency, planning another pregnancy can bring both hope and understandable anxiety.
A transabdominal cerclage (TAC) is a strong suture placed around the upper part of the cervix, close to the junction between the cervix and the lower uterus. Its purpose is to provide mechanical support and help the cervix remain closed as a pregnancy progresses.
Unlike the more commonly performed transvaginal cerclage, which can only be inserted in the second trimester of pregnancy, TAC is inserted through the abdomen prior to pregnancy and can be positioned higher around the cervix. This approach eliminates the risk of procedure-related complications—such as miscarriage, infection, and bleeding—typically associated with vaginal cerclage placement during active pregnancy.
Selected educational footage from the operation demonstrates how advanced minimal-access surgery can be applied to a complex obstetric condition while using small abdominal incisions and precise laparoscopic visualisation.
The patient is observed overnight post-surgery and discharged the next morning. They are expected to be able to return to work 10 to 14 days after the procedure.
Furthermore, TAC does not need to be removed following delivery if the patient intends to have future pregnancies.
What is cervical insufficiency?
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus and normally remains closed during pregnancy until the body is ready for childbirth. Cervical insufficiency describes a situation in which the cervix begins to shorten, open or dilate too early, sometimes without obvious symptoms or painful contractions.
