Sliding sign test for predicting scar tissue in repeat cesarean births
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound test called the sliding sign to check for scar tissue (adhesions) before a repeat cesarean delivery. It may help doctors plan safer surgery for women who have had three or more cesarean sections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least 3 cesarean sections.
- You are scheduled for another cesarean delivery.
- You do not have placenta accreta spectrum (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall).
- You are willing to undergo an ultrasound exam before your delivery.

This study tests whether an ultrasound scan can accurately predict scar tissue inside the abdomen before a planned minimally invasive surgery. This could help doctors prepare better for surgery and reduce complications.
This trial tests a special ultrasound procedure (saline infusion sonohysterography) to help diagnose problems with the scar from a previous cesarean section. If you have symptoms like abnormal bleeding or trouble getting pregnant after a c-section, this imaging may help doctors understand what's happening.
This study looks at a special sign seen on ultrasound to help doctors detect when the placenta is attached too deeply to the womb. It may help pregnant people with placenta previa know if they have this condition.
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 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.
