| Popis: | The use of cerclage, either through vaginal or abdominal routes, to assist in delaying pre-term delivery among select women with cervical insufficiency may be beneficial, but can also carry significant morbidity. Robotic-assisted transabdominal cervical cerclage (RoboTAC) in the non-pregnant patient has the ability to not only reduce associated morbidity, but also offer the same benefits as the more traditional laparotomy and laparoscopic approaches, while removing the risk to an in situ fetus. We report the use of robotic-assisted transabdominal cervical cerclage in 24 non-pregnant women. Feasibility of the procedure is discussed along with a description of the technical surgical details. In addition, limited pregnancy outcomes are presented. Our results suggest that RoboTAC is a safe alternative to the traditional laparotomy procedure with quicker recovery time. |
