Comparing Decidual Inclusion vs. Exclusion in Uterine Suture Techniques During Cesarean Section to Improve Scar Thickness and Reduce Isthmocele Risk in Primiparous Women (DISSUC)

28. maj 2026 opdateret af: Amr Sherif Hamza, Kantonsspital Baden

The Impact of Decidual Inclusion or Sparing in a Single Unlocked Closure of a Cesarean Uterine Incision: Randomized Controlled Trial

This study compares two ways of closing the uterus during cesarean delivery. In one group, the decidual layer near the uterine cavity is included in the suture. In the other group, this layer is left out. The study will examine whether these two methods differ in how well the uterine scar heals 6 to 9 months after surgery.

Women having an elective cesarean delivery will be randomly assigned to one of the two closure methods. Scar healing will be assessed by ultrasound after delivery. The goal is to determine whether one method is associated with better cesarean scar healing and fewer scar defects.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Cesarean scar defects, also referred to as niches or isthmoceles, are associated with gynecologic symptoms and adverse outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. The effect of uterine closure technique on scar healing remains uncertain, particularly with regard to whether the cavum-near decidual layer should be included in or excluded from the suture during cesarean closure.

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial comparing two approaches to single-layer, non-locked uterine closure during elective cesarean delivery: decidual inclusion and decidual sparing. In both study groups, all operative steps are standardized except for the handling of the cavum-near decidual layer at the uterotomy margin.

Participants will be followed 6 to 9 months after cesarean delivery, including blinded ultrasound assessment of cesarean scar healing. The objective is to determine whether decidual inclusion or decidual sparing is associated with differences in postoperative uterine scar healing and cesarean scar defect formation.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Decidual Inclusion Closure
Participants randomized to this arm will undergo elective cesarean delivery with single-layer, non-locked uterine closure in which the cavum-near decidual layer at the uterotomy margin is included in the suture. All other operative steps will be performed according to the standardized study protocol.

During the cesarean section, the uterine incision is closed with a single-layered, non-locked suture. In this technique, the decidua (the uterine lining) is included in the closure. This means that the endometrial cells are part of the suture, potentially influencing the healing process of the uterine scar.

Goal: The idea is that including the decidua may promote better healing and scar formation, reducing the risk of complications such as isthmocele and improving long-term uterine health.

Eksperimentel: Decidual Sparing Closure
Participants randomized to this arm will undergo elective cesarean delivery with single-layer, non-locked uterine closure in which the cavum-near decidual layer at the uterotomy margin is excluded from the suture. All other operative steps will be performed according to the standardized study protocol.

Procedure: In this technique, the uterine incision is also closed using a single-layered non-locked suture, but the decidua is excluded from the closure. The suture is placed only through the myometrium (muscle layer) of the uterus, leaving the decidua out of the scar tissue.

Goal: The intent is to observe if sparing the decidua results in better scar healing and a lower risk of isthmocele formation, as well as fewer long-term complications.
