- Abstract
The incidence of cesarean delivery (CD) has increased in recent years.1 Concurrently, complications in future pregnancies from CD scars, including placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), uterine dehiscence, uterine rupture, and cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), are also on the rise. Several hypotheses have been proposed, including the involvement of the cervix at the location of the uterine incision, incomplete uterine incision healing, intra-abdominal adhesions, inherent maternal conditions affecting the healing process,8 and suturing techniques. Gross sagittal sections of the uterus confirmed the defect along the whole length of the incision and the myometrial thickness above the defect (Figure 2).
