Single vs double layer stitches for cesarean scar
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
