Keyhole surgery for C-section scar defect repair
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have a C-section scar defect (called an isthmocele) that causes symptoms like pain or heavy bleeding.
- The muscle layer at your scar is less than 2.5 mm thick (this is measured by ultrasound).
- You want to get pregnant in the future.
- You are not currently pregnant, do not have certain other uterine conditions, and are not using birth control pills or GnRH agonists.

This study compares two different ways of closing a surgical defect in the uterus (called an isthmocele) that develops after a cesarean section. The trial tests whether one closure technique produces better outcomes than the other for women experiencing symptoms like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or difficulty getting pregnant.
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 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.
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 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.
This study compares two types of thread (suture) used to close the uterus after a first planned C-section. The goal is to see which thread leads to fewer scar defects (called isthmocele) that can cause pain or bleeding later.
