Comparing single-layer and double-layer uterine closure after cesarean section

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to compare the frequency of isthmocele, a complication following cesarean sections, based on whether a single or double layer suture technique is used during uterine closure. It investigates the relationship between the type of hysterorrhaphy and the development of isthmocele, which can lead to symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. The study will involve patients undergoing elective or emergency cesarean sections at designated medical centers, with assessments conducted via transvaginal ultrasound to identify the presence of isthmocele post-surgery.
