In addition, in 13 of the patients, two-dimensional precordial echocardiography was carried out before and during cesarean se...

Thus, the factors that affect wound healing should be evaluated. We aimed to determine whether the morphology of the CS scar in non-pregnant women after one elective CS was affected by the site of the uterine in...
