Stitch showdown: which way to sew a uterine scar works best?
NCT ID NCT07625852
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of stitching the uterine wall after laparoscopic isthmocele repair: vertical closure (along the uterus) vs. transverse closure (across it). The goal is to see which method leads to a thicker, stronger scar and better symptom relief. The trial will enroll 72 women with symptomatic isthmocele and follow them for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgical closure technique (vertical or transverse suturing)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify the better surgical method for repairing isthmocele, potentially reducing symptom recurrence and improving fertility outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 72 participants, so results may not apply widely. Both techniques are already used, so no major breakthrough is expected.
