title: Successful twin pregnancy after vaginal radical trachelectomy using transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage.
abstract: The outcome of vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT) for the management of early cervical cancer is comparable to that achieved with radical hysterectomy. Although VRT preserves the potential for pregnancy, the outcome of twin pregnancies following VRT is poor. We report a successful twin pregnancy after VRT using transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage.
