    Layered precision suturing (LP) significantly improved uterine scar healing compared to conventional double-layer closure (DL) in cesarean deliveries.

  • 2

    In the LP group, inadequate healing occurred in 7.5% of participants, compared to 15.0% in the DL group, indicating a notable difference in outcomes.

  • 3

    The mean residual myometrial thickness was greater in the LP cohort, suggesting better tissue integrity post-surgery.

  • 4

    LP closure resulted in lower prevalence of uterine niches and improved MRI diffusion values, indicating enhanced scar quality.

  • 5

    The study supports transitioning to a biomechanics-based approach for uterine closure, emphasizing the importance of surgical technique over suture count.
