Laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage University of Antwerp

Marilien Gebruers, Yves Jacquemyn, Jérôme Cornette
Cervical insufficiency is seen in 0.1% - 1% of all pregnancies and classical treatment involves vaginal cerclage. In some conditions, such as an extremely short, deformed or absent cervix, surgery needs to be done by transabdominal approach. We use a simplified technique for laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage compared to the technique described in previous studies. Furthermore, we give a review on the literature published on this subject. We ...

Distal extension of the approach may be needed in case of intraoperative complications. The aim of the present study is to describe the distal extension of the DAA using ...

Delayed-interval delivery can save the second twin University of Antwerp

S. Feys, Yves Jacquemyn

Objective: The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate survival benefit of the second twin from delayed-interval delivery compared to the first twin. Secondly, we will evaluate the survival benefit of the procedure when performed equal to or after 24 weeks gestational age of the first born. ...
