The patients were diagnosed with refractory cervical insufficiency based upon a previous failed transvaginal cervical cerclage (TVC), or had a short cervix who were considered unsuitable for a TVC after a previous cervical procedure.

For the patient with pre-pregancy LAC, the pregnancy rate was 80.6% (29/36), including 3 patients with first-trimester loss, 1 patient with an ectopic pregnancy, and 25 patients with a delivery. For the remaining 7 patients, 3 did not conceive, and another 4 had no pregnancy plans. All the patients with in-pregnancy LAC had a delivery. The “take-home baby” rate was 89.2% (33/37), with a live-birth rate of 100% and a neonatal survival rate of 100% for both patients with in-pregnancy and pre-pregnancy LAC. For patients with in-pregnancy LAC, 75.0% (6/8) patients delivered at ≥37 wk of gestation, 12.5% (1/8) delivered between 34 and 36⁺⁶ wk, and 12.5% (1/8) delivered between 28 and 33⁺⁶ wk. For patients with pre-pregnancy LAC, 80.0% (20/25) patients delivered at ≥37 wk of gestation, 16.0% (4/25) delivered between 34 and 36⁺⁶ wk, and 4.0% (1/25) delivered between 28 and 33⁺⁶ wk.

A literature search was performed on the PubMed and Medline databases to identify relevant articles published between 1994 and February 2022. The evidence obtained was summarised in a narrative style. Greater emphasis was placed on recent 10-year articles and studies of higher methodological quality. RC is noninferior to LC. The robotic platform facilitates the application of minimally invasive surgery in a way conventional laparoscopy cannot. LC remains appropriate for the majority of patients requiring cholecystectomy. The advantages of RC include inherent technical benefits, facilitating the learning of new surgical technology and its potential to reduce the risk of open conversion and bile leakage in certain populations (Mirizzi syndrome, complicated calculous disease, chronic liver disease and possibly malignancy). It also has increasing applicability to related biliary surgery. The limitations include cost, loss of tactile feedback and the learning curve associated with initial implementation.
