About this study
Official title: Incidence of Uterine Cesarean Scar Niche After Cesarean Delivery and Assessment of Its Risk Factors
To assess the incidence of cesarean scar niche and its risk factors in a prospectively collected population.
Read the detailed description
It will be carried out in Gynecology and Obstetrics department in Beni-Suef University Hospital using Ultrasound:
Six months after the cesarean delivery, participants will be invited to the gynecologic outpatient clinic or department for ultrasound (US) examination to detect the presence of the niche.
Women without contraception will be examined during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle to avoid an eventual early pregnancy. Otherwise, a random phase of the menstrual cycle will be accepted. Women who are pregnant at the time of US will be excluded. Women will be examined in the lithotomy position with an empty bladder. The uterus will be examined in a standardized way, with trans-vaginal US performed first.
For the diagnosis of cesarean scar niche (defined as an anechoic defect in the anterior wall of the lower uterine segment, communicating with the endometrial cavity),we will use a predetermined definition of a defect at least 2.0 mm deep
- Conditions
- Cesarean Section, Dehiscence
- Being tested
- cesarean section
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
cesarean sectionProcedure or surgery
caesarean delivery, is the surgical procedure by which one or more babies are delivered through an incision in the mother's abdomen
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| previous 1 cesarean section | patient who had her first Cesarean section Receives: Procedure: cesarean section | |
| previous 2 cesarean sections | patient who had her second Cesarean sections Receives: Procedure: cesarean section | |
| previous 3 or more cesarean sections | patient who had 3 or more Cesarean sections Receives: Procedure: cesarean section |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
the incidence of cesarean scar niche among cesarean deliveries
number of cases develop cesarean scar niche after cesarean deliveries
Measured: 6 months after delivery
Secondary outcomes (1)
risk factors that affect the development of the niche.
age- BMI- post operative infection - PROM(preterm rupture of membrane)
Measured: within 1 month of delivery
