Ultrasound imaging to assess cesarean scar damage
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special ultrasound procedure (saline infusion sonohysterography) to help diagnose problems with the scar from a previous cesarean section. If you have symptoms like abnormal bleeding or trouble getting pregnant after a c-section, this imaging may help doctors understand what's happening.
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 types of ultrasound (2D and 3D) to check the scar from a past C-section. It aims to see which method gives better pictures, with or without using a saline infusion (SIS) to help see the scar more clearly.
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 trial tests whether a special ultrasound using saline can find pelvic adhesions in women who have trouble getting pregnant. Pelvic adhesions are scar-like tissues that can block the fallopian tubes and affect fertility.
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 repairing or not repairing a scar defect (a small pocket in the uterine wall) found in women having a second or third c-section. It aims to see if repair helps reduce future complications.
