Background: The dramatically increased in CS delivery will essentially increase incidence of cesarean scar defects (CSD) rate, which has deleterious effect on mother's health as ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa and morbidly adherent placenta, dehiscence, postmenstrual spotting, inter-menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrheal, dyspareunia, secondary infertility.

BACKGROUND The development of a mass in a surgical scar poses a diagnostic dilemma due to similarities in appearance to hernias, abscesses, hematomas or desmoid tumors. Scar endometriosis is uncommon and malignant change within this ectopic tissue is rare. CASE REPORT The case of a 55-year-old woman with an isolated clear cell adenocarcinoma in an area of scar endometriosis more than 17 years...

Purpose To determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE), as well as the rate and recurrence factors for the disease. Methods A retrospective study of 52 women with AWE was performed at Universidade Estadual de Campinas from 2004 to 2014. Of the 231 surgeries performed for the diagnosis of endometriosis, 52 women were found to have abdominal wa...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the visibility of cesarean section (CS) scars by transvaginal sonography (TVS) in pregnant women, to apply a standardized approach for measuring CS scars and to test its reproducibility throughout the course of pregnancy. METHODS In this observational cohort study, 320 consecutive pregnant women with a previous cesarean delivery were examined to assess scar visibility b...

Abdominoplasty is an esthetic surgical procedure that restores abdominal contouring. Repeated pregnancies combined with advancing maternal age usually lead to lower abdominal skin redundancy and excess fat accumulation. Delivery via Cesarean section adds weakness to the lower abdominal wall muscles and yields a lower transverse Cesarean scar. Some patients request whether abdominoplasty can be ...

Dangerous placenta previa refers to somebody has a history of cesarean section while this pregnancy was placenta previa with the placenta attached to the original scar. The placenta can be adhered to the surface of the uterus, invasion into myometrium or completely penetrate the muscle and tissues in these placenta previa patients. It happens in these persons like older maternal ages (over 35 y...

Objectives: This study focused on evaluating the value of transvaginal 3D ultrasound for the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from 32 patients with post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum over three recent years. In all patients, transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to measure the siz...

Background: Caesarean section has become increasingly the common method of delivery. From 1980 to 2001 the rate in UK has increased from 9% to 21% of all births. The aim of the study was to find out the outcome of delivery in women with previous cesarean section, the mode of delivery, maternal and fetal outcome of labour and various factors which influence the mode of delivery. Methods: 150 wom...

BACKGROUND Cesarean delivery has already become a very common method of delivery around the world, especially in low-income countries. Hypertrophic scars and wound infections have affected younger mothers and frustrated obstetricians for a long time. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have strong potential for self-renewal and differentiation to multilineage cells. Previous studies have demonstrated...
