Our patient is a 32-year-old G4P1 with a complex obstetric history. Her first pregnancy ended with a miscarriage at 7 weeks. A transvaginal cerclage was performed during her second pregnancy at 12 weeks, and she subsequently suffered from PPROM at 24 weeks. The baby was delivered via cesarean section and was 18 months old at the time of the last follow-up. Another transvaginal cerclage was performed at 14 weeks for her third pregnancy, which ended with an IUFD at 16 weeks. She subsequently underwent the removal of the vaginal cerclage and a D&C. In her fourth pregnancy, an open abdominal cerclage was attempted at 14 weeks of pregnancy. The latter caused PPROM during the surgery due to blind needle placement, which resulted in the loss of the fetus. Perioperative notes regarding that particular surgery were not accessible to us at the time of submission. She presented to us as a non-gravid patient seeking the replacement of her abdominal cerclage. Given a complex obstetric history of multiple second-trimester losses with two vaginal cerclages and one open abdominal cerclage, an abdominal cerclage was indicated at the level of the internal cervical os, regardless of cervical length, in a non-pregnant patient.</p></div><div><h3>Interventions</h3><p>Cervical insufficiency is a condition that results in painless, recurrent pregnancy loss before the second trimester in the absence of biochemical triggers.
