One vs. two layer closure in C-section: a trial on scar healing
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares sewing the uterus back together in one layer versus two layers during a planned C-section. The goal is to see which method leads to a smaller scar defect (niche) in the uterine wall, which could affect future health.

This trial compares two ways of closing the uterus during a planned cesarean section to see which creates a stronger scar and prevents complications. If you're having your first cesarean delivery, this research may help doctors improve the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of stitching the uterus after a C-section to see which one leads to a thicker uterine wall later. It may help choose the best technique for future pregnancies.
This study looks at what helps healing and outcomes at the scar in the uterus after a first C-section. It may be for people who are having a first baby delivered by C-section at 37 weeks or later.
This study compares three different ways of stitching the uterus closed after a planned c-section. The goal is to see which method helps the uterus heal best.
This study compares two ways of closing the uterus after a C-section (single-layer vs double-layer) to see which one leads to fewer small pockets in the scar. If you've had or are planning a C-section, you may be able to help understand which method is better for healing.
