C-Section stitch showdown: single or double layer for a stronger scar?
NCT ID NCT07323355
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two common ways doctors stitch the uterus after a C-section: using one layer of stitches or two. The goal is to see which method leads to a thicker, healthier scar and fewer problems like pain or bleeding later on. About 100 women having a C-section will be randomly assigned to one method, and their scar will be checked with ultrasound 6 months after delivery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this study finds a clear benefit of one technique, it could help guide surgeons toward the best method for closing the uterus after C-section, potentially reducing future scar-related problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 102 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The study does not test a new drug or device, so any impact on practice will depend on larger follow-up trials.
