NCT ID NCT07523698

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

Summary

This study used ultrasound to measure the thickness between the bladder and uterus (vesicouterin thickness) and check for a 'sliding sign' in 117 pregnant women at term. Half had at least one prior C-section, half did not. The goal was to see if ultrasound can detect adhesions that might complicate repeat C-sections.
