RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF ISTHMOCELE AFTER CESAREAN SECTION: ASSESSMENT OF RISKS, CONSEQUENCES AND OPTIMAL CARE

Abstract

Research activity in the field of isthmocele after cesarean section has increased significantly in recent years. An isthmocele , also known as a uterine cavity or uterine defect, is a cavity in the uterus that forms after an incision in the wall of the uterus during a caesarean section. Problems associated with isthmocele may include intermenstrual bleeding, painful menstruation, a lack of replenishment of the fertile environment for embryo implantation, and the risk of premature uterine wall rupture in the event of a subsequent pregnancy. Isthmoceles can vary in size and depth and may be asymptomatic or cause varying clinical manifestations. A review of the literature suggests that early diagnosis of isthmocele and timely treatment are important aspects of managing this complication after cesarean section.
