| Title | Placement and removal of abdominal cerclage by laparoscopy. | | Author(s) | Agdi M, Tulandi T | | Institution | Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, McGill University, 687 Pine Ave. West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 1A1. | | Source | Reprod Biomed Online 2008 Feb; 16(2):308-10. | | Abstract | The patient was a 26-year-old woman with cervical incompetence who underwent a laparoscopic abdominal cerclage. She subsequently conceived; however, severe oligohydramnios was encountered at 19 weeks of gestation. Instead of performing a hysterotomy that required a laparotomy, the cerclage was removed laparoscopically. She delivered the following day. This is the first reported laparoscopic abdominal cerclage and its removal by laparoscopy at 19 weeks of gestation. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
