Robot assisted laparoscopic abdominal cerclage: two case reports
Robot-assisted abdominal cerclage, a minimally invasive technique, was successfully used for the first time in the Czech Republic. This procedure led to a live birth in a patient with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Gynecologic Surgery
Background:
- Cervical insufficiency is a significant cause of late pregnancy loss.
- Traditional surgical methods for cerclage have limitations.
- Robot-assisted surgery offers potential advantages in gynecologic procedures.
Observation:
- Two patients with a history of recurrent late pregnancy losses underwent robot-assisted preconceptual abdominal cerclage.
- The da Vinci S surgical system was utilized for the procedure.
- One patient achieved a successful term delivery of a live infant.
Findings:
- Robot-assisted laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage is feasible and effective.
- The technique resulted in a live birth at term for one patient.
- The second patient is undergoing further infertility treatment.
Implications:
- Robotic abdominal cerclage represents a novel, minimally invasive approach for treating cervical insufficiency.
- Enhanced 3D visualization and improved instrumentation offered by robotic systems may improve outcomes.
- This technique holds promise for improving fertility outcomes in women with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Purpose and Process:
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
