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.
