C-Section scar healing: which stitch method works best?
NCT ID NCT07611331
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 384 women having their first C-section to compare two methods of closing the uterus: one layer of stitches vs. two layers. The goal was to see which method leads to better scar healing and fewer problems like pain or irregular bleeding. Researchers used ultrasound to measure scar thickness and defects at 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery.
