    The prevalence of isthmocele after cesarean sections ranges from 24% to 70%, increasing to 56% to 84% with saline-infusion sonography.

  • 2

    Uterine closure technique significantly influences isthmocele formation, with double-layer closure recommended in the UK.

  • 3

    Bujold et al. found that double-layer closure reduces the risk of uterine rupture in future pregnancies compared to single-layer closure.

  • 4

    Recent studies emphasize the use of nonlocking continuous sutures for uterine closure to potentially prevent isthmocele formation.

  • 5

    The study aims to evaluate the effect of closure technique on isthmocele development and its relationship with patient symptoms.
