In patients with CI and concomitant cervical or lower uterine segment IUAs, it is necessary to separate the adhesion prior to evaluating the cervical competency with the No. 7 Hegar dilator, to confirm the diagnosis. However, when the cervix is too loose, laparoscopic cervical cerclage is exceptionally carried out first and then IUAs is treated. Pre-pregnancy laparoscopic cervical cerclage has a good prognosis in patients with CI complicated by moderate to severe IUAs.
