Platelet-rich plasma to prevent uterine scar problems after cesarean

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

Participants undergoing elective cesarean delivery at term will have a sample of their blood processed into platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during the operative visit. The PRP preparation or a placebo will be applied to the uterine scar site at the time of closure. Outcomes will focus on healing-related measures and clinical complaints such as post-cesarean bleeding, pelvic pain, and menstrual irregularities linked to uterine scar defects. The approach uses autologous material to concentrate growth factors that may enhance local wound repair.
