Laparoscopic cerclage for cervical incompetence to prevent late miscarriage or preterm birth

Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic cerclage for cervical incompetence to prevent late miscarriage or preterm birth is adequate to support the use of this procedure provided that standard arrangements are in place for clinical governance, consent and audit. Find out what standard arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

Patient selection should be done by a multidisciplinary team experienced in the management and prevention of preterm delivery.
