Abstract

This video-article describes a laparoscopic cervico-isthmic cerclage technique for managing cervical insufficiency in both pregnant and non-pregnant patients, utilizing a port-site closure device for precise suture placement. Two cases-one non-pregnant and one at 12 weeks gestation-underwent the procedure, with details on trocar placement, dissection, and suture passage documented. Both surgeries were completed successfully, with minimal blood loss and no complications. The use of the port-site closure device allowed for precise suture placement near the uterine vessels, contributing to favorable postoperative outcomes. This laparoscopic approach offers a minimally invasive alternative to the open technique in specialized centers.
