Summary

We compares two techniques of uterine closure on myometrium thickness at the site of uterine scar of women who underwent repeated cesarean section. We will evaluate myometrial thickness by transvaginal ultrasound six months after cesarean.

Conditions

• Cesarean Section, Repeated
• Cesarean, Uterine Scar Thickness
• Cesarean, Residual Myometrial Thickness
• Cesarean Section Complications
• Cesarean Section; Complications, Wound, Dehiscence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Single layer closure	Uterine incision will be approximated with continuous unlocked suture avoiding the inclusion endometrium and without trimming incision edges.
PROCEDURE	Double layer closure after resection uterine scar	Uterine incision will be trimmed and old scar tissue will be removed. Then first, endometrium will be approximated by continuous unlocked suture mimicking subcuticular suture avoiding the inclusion of endometrium and second, upper part of myometrium will be approximated by a continuous unlocked suture.
