Cervical incompetence can be a difficult and emotional condition for women who experience repeated pregnancy loss or early preterm birth. It occurs when the cervix becomes weak and opens too early during pregnancy, often without pain or warning signs.
With advances in medical technology, effective treatment options are now available. One of the most reliable solutions is Laparoscopic Transabdominal Cerclage (TAC).
At Amayra Healthcare, women receive expert care and advanced treatment under the guidance of Dr. Ajay Aggarwal, helping them achieve safer and healthier pregnancies.
What Is Cervical Incompetence?
Cervical incompetence, also known as cervical insufficiency, means the cervix is unable to remain closed as pregnancy progresses. This can lead to miscarriage, usually in the second trimester, or premature delivery.
Common causes include:
Naturally weak cervical tissue
Previous cervical surgeries
Injury during childbirth or medical procedures
Structural abnormalities of the cervix
Early diagnosis and proper management are key to improving pregnancy outcomes.
What Is Laparoscopic Transabdominal Cerclage (TAC)?
Laparoscopic TAC is a surgical procedure in which a strong stitch is placed around the cervix through the abdomen to keep it securely closed during pregnancy. The surgery is done using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques, which involve small incisions and specialized instruments.
This method offers stronger and more reliable support than vaginal cerclage, especially for women with severe cervical weakness. At Amayra Healthcare, Dr. Ajay Aggarwal performs laparoscopic TAC with precision and a patient-focused approach.
Who Should Consider Laparoscopic TAC?
Laparoscopic cerclage may be recommended for women who:
Have had repeated second-trimester miscarriages
Experienced failure of vaginal cerclage in previous pregnancies
Have a very short, scarred, or damaged cervix
Need a long-term solution for future pregnancies
Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine whether TAC should be performed before pregnancy or during early pregnancy.

Procedure and Recovery
During the procedure:
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. A strong stitch is placed around the cervix through small abdominal incisions using laparoscopic instruments.
After the procedure:
Hospital stay is usually 1–2 days
Mild discomfort may be felt for a few days
Normal activities can be resumed gradually
Regular follow-ups are scheduled during pregnancy
Because the stitch remains in place, delivery is planned by cesarean section for safety.
Is Laparoscopic TAC Safe?
Laparoscopic TAC is considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. As with any surgery, there are small risks such as infection or bleeding, but complications are uncommon. Under the expert care of Dr. Ajay Aggarwal, patients receive thorough monitoring and support.
