Ultrasound Evaluation of the Uterine Scar Thickness after Single Versus Double Layer Closure of Transverse Lower Segment Cesarean Section

Background: The degree of the lower uterine segment (LUS) thinning and the risk of uterine scar defect have been studied. However, the relationship between the methods of closure and the degree of thinning needs further elucidation. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether a LUS transverse cesarean section (CS) closure method in one or two layers affects subsequent scar thickness. Su...
