Successful delivery of unicornuate uterus pregnancy after laparoscopic cervical cerclage: A case report

Abstract

There are few reports of the successful delivery of unicornuate uterus pregnancy after laparoscopic cervical cerclage. Here, we report a 32-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, who had been admitted for unicornuate uterus pregnancy by a thawed frozen blastocyst transplantation. She accepted laparoscopic cervical cerclage for cervical insufficiency and delivered successfully via caesarean section at 35+3 weeks. Cervical cerclage may be used as an effective method of preventing abortion in unicornuate uterus pregnancy, while surgery by laparoscopy would be a better choice for patients with poor cervical condition. Obstetricians should pay due attention to complications such as uterine rupture for these high-risk patients.
