This study compares two ways to close the skin after a C-section: absorbable staples (which dissolve on their own) versus regular stitches or staples. It aims to see which method works better for healing and scarring.
This study compares two types of thread (suture) used to close the uterus after a first planned C-section. The goal is to see which thread leads to fewer scar defects (called isthmocele) that can cause pain or bleeding later.
This trial tests if a special light therapy device (Bioptron) can help improve the appearance and healing of scars after a cesarean section. It may be a good option if you had your first baby by c-section and your scar is between 6 weeks and 6 months old.
This trial compares two types of suture material used to close the skin after a C-section. It focuses on women with a BMI of 40 or higher to see which option may lead to better healing.
This study looks at the best ways to treat cesarean scar pregnancies—a rare condition where a pregnancy develops in the scar tissue from a previous cesarean delivery. Researchers will track how different treatments work and help improve care for women with this condition.
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.
