Stitch showdown: which cesarean closure method lowers niche risk?

NCT ID NCT07554001

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 366 women having their first planned cesarean section to see if closing the uterine incision with one layer of stitches or two layers affects the chance of developing a uterine niche (a small pocket in the scar). Participants were asked about symptoms like spotting or pain. The goal is to find out which method might be safer.

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 one method clearly reduces niche risk, it could guide surgeons to choose the better closure technique for future cesarean sections.

What could go wrong

This is a completed observational comparison, not a large randomized trial, so results may not apply to all women or settings.
