Can ultrasound spot hidden scar tissue after C-Section?
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.
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 successful, this could help doctors predict bladder adhesions before repeat C-sections, potentially reducing surgical risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study. The findings may not apply to all women or lead to a standard test without further research.
