Re: My specialist will be Dr. n Parer at UCSF...

[Guest guest]

I had general anaesthesia. My doc didn't offer anything else. I know I could

have probably asked for the spinal, but because it was being done pre-pg

I didn't have a little one to worry about, so felt it would be better if

I was just knocked out. I was off 2w. I saw my doc a week after the op and

he said to go back when I felt up to it. After 2w I was more than ready to

go back.

What type of anesthesia did some of you have? When they were

discussing a vaginal cerclage, they said a spinal. But I don't know

what they would do for this. I am afraid of a spinal cause I have

heard stories of women who were not totally numb. I'd rather be out

like a light! How long were you off of work after the surgery? I

have a desk job, so not heavy duty.

I am so glad I found this site. It is very encouraging to hear so

many women who have found success in this procedure. I was told by

my gynocologist oncologist (my dr. for the cervical cancer

treatment) that it has only been pretty recently that they have been

using conization surgery (removal of parts of the cervix) to treat

high grade cervical dysplasia and early cervical cancer like mine.

They used to just do a hysterectomy. Therefore, I would guess that

there will be an increase in the number of abdominal cerclages

performed due to more women trying to get pg after cervical

surgery. Hopefully, more study and experience will be directed

toward the laparoscopic technique.

Good luck to everyone,

Cindy

I had my cerclage placed at 11 weeks and they used general anesthesia.

Neither me or the baby had any problems. They used general because the

procedure took 3 hours due to this being his first partial laparoscopic ab

cerclage.

Hi Cindy, I had a spinal block with my vaginal cerclage and no

problems and did not feel anything. I actually liked it better than

being out totally. I was totally out when I delivered my daughter

via emergency c-section (not related to IC) 6 years ago.
