Comparing stitching techniques to reduce scar problems after first cesarean
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
