Cesarean Scar Defect (CSD) is the formation of a diverticulum at the site of the old caesarean incision [1]. With a rising cesarean sections being performed, the complications caused by CSDs has attracted more and more attentions. These include conditions such as scar pregnancy, placenta accreta, placenta previa, and uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies [2,3]. The CSD is also associated wi...

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. This condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. We are reporting one case of scar endometriosis invol...

We report two cases of women with a previous cesarean performed before active labor at 29 weeks of gestation who underwent sonographic measurement of the lower uterine segment (LUS) at 36 weeks' gestation in their subsequent pregnancy. In both cases, uterine scar defect was detected on the upper part of the LUS, at ∼9 to 11 cm from the cervical os, and was only visualized by the transabdominal ...

OBJECTIVE To develop a model to predict the success of a trial of vaginal birth after Cesarean section (VBAC) based on sonographic measurements of Cesarean section (CS) scar features, demographic variables and previous obstetric history. METHODS We used transvaginal sonography (TVS) to examine the CS scar of 320 consecutive pregnant women. TVS was carried out at 11-13, 19-21 and 34-36 weeks' ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of pregnancy in women with previous one cesarean section in relation to vaginal delivery and maternal and perinatal complications. It also aimed at identifying the factors, which can influence the outcome of trial of scar (TOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of medical records of 151 women with previous one cesa...

The risk of uterine scar dehiscence and uterine rupture is inversely related to the lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness as measured by ultrasound. Three dimensional ultrasound can increase the reliability of ultrasound in prediction of scar dehiscence. Transvaginal three dimensional ultrasound measurement of the muscular layer thickness of the lower uterine segment seems to be the most reliab...

OBJECTIVES To describe changes in Cesarean section (CS) scars longitudinally throughout pregnancy, and to relate initial scar measurements, demographic variables and obstetric variables to subsequent changes in scar features and to final pregnancy outcome. METHODS In this prospective observational study we used transvaginal sonography (TVS) to examine the CS scar of 320 consecutive pregnant w...

OBJECTIVE To identify uterine hysteroscopic findings among patients with prior cesarean section and whom had post-menstrual bleeding spotting type. METHODS We conducted a descriptive and prospective study between June 2008 and December 2009 involving women admitted to our clinic in Ji-Paraná (RO), Brazil, and who complained of prolonged genital bleeding after menstrual period. A total of 20 w...
