Surgery versus waiting for large cesarean scar defect
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares surgery to fix a large cesarean scar defect (a pocket in the uterine wall from a previous C-section) with waiting and monitoring. It aims to see which approach is better for women who are having trouble getting pregnant again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the number of cesarean sections (C-sections) a woman has had affects the healing of the scar in her uterus. It may help doctors understand if more C-sections lead to a condition called a 'niche,' which is a small pocket in the scar that can cause symptoms.
This study compares two ways of closing the uterine wall during laparoscopic surgery to fix an isthmocele—a small pocket in the C-section scar that can cause bleeding, pain, or fertility issues. The goal is to see which closure method gives better outcomes for women like you who are experiencing symptoms and want surgical repair.
This study tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to repair a C-section scar defect (isthmocele). It is for women who have symptoms from the defect and want to preserve their ability to get pregnant in the future.
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 trial tests a special hysteroscopic procedure to treat the pocket (niche) left by a C-section, which can cause long periods. The goal is to reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
This study looks at a common problem after C-section: a small pocket (diverticulum) in the uterine scar that can cause long, heavy periods. It tests a surgical repair done through the vagina to fix the defect and hopefully reduce bleeding and improve quality of life.
