A closer look: could hysteroscopy guide better repair of cesarean scar defects?

NCT ID NCT05858931

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether hysteroscopy, a procedure to look inside the uterus, can help predict the outcomes of vaginal repair surgery for cesarean section scar defects (CSDs). These defects can cause symptoms like prolonged or irregular bleeding. The trial will compare hysteroscopic findings with the clinical results of the repair, such as changes in menstrual duration and the thickness of the uterine muscle. By involving 143 women who have had cesarean sections and are scheduled for vaginal repair, the study aims to see if hysteroscopy offers valuable information for surgical planning.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vaginal repair (a surgical procedure to correct cesarean section scar defects)
What this could lead to
If hysteroscopic evaluation reliably predicts surgical outcomes, it could help doctors choose the best candidates for vaginal repair and improve treatment planning for cesarean scar defects.
What could go wrong
This is an exploratory study, so the findings may not be definitive. The link between hysteroscopic findings and clinical outcomes could be weak, and the results may not apply to all patients.
