Comparing two ways to cut the womb in planned C-sections
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of making the uterine incision (the cut into the womb) during a planned C-section: one using special scissors and the other using a scalpel (a surgical knife). The goal is to see which method is safer or better for you and your baby.

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.
This study compares two ways of making the cut (incision) in the uterus during a first cesarean section to see which one helps the uterus heal better. Researchers want to know if a higher or lower incision leads to fewer defects in the uterine wall afterward.
This study compares two surgical techniques to manage placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find a safer way to control bleeding during delivery and possibly avoid removing the womb (hysterectomy).
This study compares two ways to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) for non-cancerous conditions: one using small cuts and a camera (laparoscopic), and the other using a larger belly cut (abdominal). It aims to see which method works better in settings with limited resources.
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 looks at two methods of placing a stitch in the cervix to help prevent early birth in women who have had preterm deliveries or late miscarriages before. It compares a stitch placed through the vagina versus one placed through the belly using a laparoscope (a small camera tool).
