Introduction
At Indigo Women’s Center in Anna Nagar, Chennai, we understand that every pregnancy is unique. That’s why we offer specialized procedures like laparoscopic and vaginal cerclage to support women who face challenges with cervical insufficiency during pregnancy. Led by Dr. Surakshith Battina, our team is committed to providing personalized care. Let’s explore these two essential procedures to help you make an informed decision.
Understanding Cervical Insufficiency
Cervical insufficiency is a condition where the cervical tissue is weaker than normal and begins to dilate prematurely, potentially leading to preterm birth or miscarriage. Cerclage, a procedure where the cervix is stitched closed during pregnancy, can be a crucial intervention.
Laparoscopic Cerclage: The Minimally Invasive Choice
Laparoscopic cerclage is typically recommended for women who have experienced failed vaginal cerclage or have specific anatomical challenges. This method involves a minimally invasive surgical technique, where stitches are placed around the cervix through small incisions in the abdomen. The benefits include less post-operative pain, minimal scarring, and often a quicker recovery period.
Vaginal Cerclage: The Traditional Approach
Vaginal cerclage is performed through the vagina and is usually done between 12-14 weeks of pregnancy. It’s considered when a woman has a history of late miscarriages or early preterm births. This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia, and while it is less invasive than abdominal surgery, it requires careful monitoring.
Which Procedure is Right for You?
Choosing between laparoscopic and vaginal cerclage depends on several factors, including your medical history, the anatomy of your cervix, and previous pregnancy outcomes. At Indigo Women’s Center, Dr. Surakshith Battina and our skilled team will guide you through a thorough assessment to determine the best approach for your situation.
Our Commitment to Safety and Care
Safety and comfort are our top priorities. Both procedures are performed with state-of-the-art technology and supported by a compassionate care team who understands the sensitivity of these treatments.
Conclusion
Whether it’s through laparoscopic or vaginal cerclage, our goal at Indigo Women’s Center is to provide you with the best possible care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Understanding your options is the first step toward a successful outcome.
