NCT03915847

Brief Summary

The study compares three techniques of uterine closure on myometrium thickness at the site of uterine scar of women who underwent repeated cesarean section. Cesarean scar will be evaluated by transvaginal ultrasound six months after cesarean.

Double layer closure

Doble layer closure with trimming

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Doble layer closure with trimming

Interventions

Uterine incision will be approximated with continuous unlocked suture, including a narrow band of the endometrial layer, without trimming incision edges.

Single layer closure

The first layer suture penetrated the whole thickness of the uterine wall, including a narrow band of the endometrial layer. Second layer sture is acontinous sture performed in a lateral-to lateral position , imbricating first layer.

Double layer closure

Uterine incision will be trimmed and old scar tissue will be removed. The first layer suture penetrated the whole thickness of the uterine wall, including a narrow band of the endometrial layer. Second layer sture is acontinous sture performed in a lateral-to lateral position , imbricating first layer.

Doble layer closure with trimming
