An observational study in Uterine Caesarean Scar Defect, sponsored by International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital. Completed at 1 site in China. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 48 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-16.
Sponsored by International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital · Observational
To investigate whether a novel hysteroscopic-assisted transvaginal repair technique results in a shorter time to pregnancy and superior fertility outcomes compared to traditional transvaginal repair.
International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital is the lead sponsor of 14 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
This prospective cohort study was conducted between May 2019 and May 2023 at Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital (IPMCH), Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Patients with a large niche (defined as niche with a depth of >50% of the myometrial thickness and a residual myometrial thickness (RMT) ≤3mm) Patients have fertility requirements Patients were aged between 18 and 48 years Patients who requested transvaginal surgery (the final decision about operation method was made by the patient (shared decision making))
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with a narrow vaginal canal or any evidence of severe pelvic adhesion around the uterus Patients with post-operative biopsy-proven atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer
Traditional transvaginal repair (TTR) procedure mainly involves two steps: the obvious scar-like defect excision and the full-thickness myometrial closure, which maybe form a new scar defect due to the uncertain scar healing process.
Hysteroscopic-assisted novel transvaginal repair (NTR) surgery does not need to remove the original scar defect. Instead, suture was used to interruptedly suture the myometrium at the upper and lower margins of the scar to close the niche or reduce its size, which retains the integrity of the myometrium.
