Clinical Impact of Uterine Repair During Cesarean Section with Barbed Suture on the Incidence of Isthmocele
Sponsor: Hospital Clinic of Barcelona
Summary
Pregnant women, irrespective of their pregnancy risk, who undergo a cesarean section for any reason will be randomized to one of two suturing techniques: conventional suture or barbed suture for uterine repair after the cesarean section. Following surgery, these patients will be followed up for clinical outcomes, ultrasound evaluation of the uterine scar, and study of the hypoxic-inflammatory environment of the uterine cavity.
