Hysteroscopic surgery for period problems after C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.

- Your ultrasound shows the muscle layer in your uterus is at least 2.5 mm thick.
- Birth control pills haven't helped enough after a month, or you strongly prefer surgery.

This trial tests if a special type of stitch (barbed suture) used to repair the uterus during cesarean section can reduce the chance of developing a small pocket or gap in the uterine scar, called isthmocele. If you are having a planned or emergency c-section at Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, you may be able to join.
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.
This trial tests a surgery using two tools (a scope for the uterus and a small belly camera) to repair a defect from a past C-section that causes spotting after periods. It may help women with this symptom.
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 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.
