Abstract

Objectives: Features of cesarean scar defect after 12 week - cesarean section at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Methods: This prospective study  included 136 patients with their first cesarean section at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021. Results: The prevalence of isthmocele after 12 week - cesarean section is 30.3%. Most of cases are small scar and triangular scar. The surgical time in the group of no isthmocele patients and isthmocele are 18,9518 ± 5,38 vs 20,763 ± 6,55, respectively. The labor duration  in the group of no isthmocele patients and isthmocele are 7,11± 3,82 vs 9,8 ± 1,3, respectively. Conclusion: Longer surgery time and prolonged labor duration are independent factors of isthmocele. The risk of isthmocele in the double-layer closure of the hysterotomy incision is the same as those in the sinlge-layer closure.
