Comparing two ways to close the uterus after C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
