Hysteroscopic surgery for cesarean scar defects
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special hysteroscopic surgery to improve symptoms like long periods caused by a cesarean scar defect. It may help women who haven't gotten better with birth control pills or who strongly prefer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two surgical techniques used during cesarean delivery to see which one helps the surgical scar heal better and causes fewer problems later. Researchers will follow patients after delivery to check their recovery.
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 repair approach done through the vagina to fix a specific problem in the uterine scar from a prior C-section. It’s meant for people who have ongoing, long menstrual bleeding after C-section when medicines haven’t helped and other causes have been ruled out.
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 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.
