Objective: To estimate benefits and risks of transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage in women with cervical insufficiency in whom transvaginal cerclage is considered surgically unfeasible.
Methods: This was an observational cohort study with historical controls of 101 pregnancies after transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage in 101 women with a classic history of cervical insufficiency and severe cervical defects precluding transvaginal cerclage.
Results: Median gestational age at elective transabdominal cerclage (n = 95) was 14 (range 12-16) weeks and at emergency cerclage (n = 6) was 18 (range 17-22) weeks.
