Summary

Prospective observational study conducted on women with previous 1 or 2 CS candidate for elective CS. Ultrasonographic evaluation of lower uterine segment using 2D and 3D transabdominal and transvaginal then correlated to scar integrity assessed intraoperatively

Conditions

  • Cesarean Wound Disruption

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cesarean section

During Cesarean delivery the lower uterine segment (LUS) was defined as the part of the uterus below the uterovesical peritoneal reflection. After opening the visceral peritoneum and performing the bladder dissection, the LUS was assessed for integrity of the CS scar by the operating surgeon to avoid bias by the sonographic findings. Scar dehiscence was defined as the presence of either transparent LUS with visible contents, presence of well-circumscribed scar defect or presence of frank uterine rupture.
