What is Trans-Abdominal Cerclage Surgery?

Trans-abdominal cerclage is a procedure that places a strong, permanent band around the cervix to provide support during pregnancy and reduce the risk of premature birth or pregnancy loss caused by cervical insufficiency. This procedure offers greater strength and security than a vaginal cerclage, especially for women who have had failed vaginal cerclages.
As the best trans-abdominal cerclage surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Matthew Siedhoff performs this delicate procedure using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques with exceptional precision. His unmatched skill ensures optimal cervical support and gives patients the highest chance of carrying to full term.

Cervical Insufficiency
When the cervix cannot stay closed during pregnancy, a trans-abdominal cerclage offers strong, cervical support to help reduce the risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. Dr. Siedhoff performs this procedure using either robotic laparoscopy or conventional laparoscopy, ensuring exceptional accuracy while minimizing surgical trauma. Depending on the root causes of your cervical insufficiency, other treatments for this condition include myomectomy, excision of endometriosis, salpingectomy, lysis of adhesions, ovarian cystectomy, and uterine isthmocele repair.

What to Expect During Trans-Abdominal Cerclage Surgery

Before Surgery

You’ll meet with Dr. Siedhoff for a thorough consultation to review your medical history, pregnancy goals, and prior pregnancy outcomes. He will explain whether robotic or conventional laparoscopy is best for your case and outline each step.

During Surgery

General anesthesia is used to put you to sleep before Dr. Siedhoff places a strong, permanent band around the cervix using advanced robotic or laparoscopic techniques. His precise approach ensures optimal placement with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

After Surgery

Most patients go home the same day and can resume light activities within a few days. You’ll receive clear recovery instructions, follow-up care, and guidance for planning future pregnancies.
