Summary
An Isthmocele is a scar defect or uterine niche that develops in the myometrium due to an inadequate healing process at the site of the caesarean section incision. The management of isthmocele is not standardized and a correction typically involves invasive procedures (hysteroscopy/resectoscopy, laparoscopy, vaginal surgery). This study is to investigate the effectiveness of the procedures used to treat isthmocele.
