Simple C-Section tweak may prevent painful uterine scars
NCT ID NCT07228858
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a simple change during repeat C-sections: removing the old scar before closing the uterus. Researchers wanted to see if this would prevent a 'niche' (a pocket in the scar) that can cause bleeding and pain. 170 women having a repeat C-section took part. The goal was to reduce future complications without making the surgery riskier.
