Background: To study cesarean scar characteristics following scheduled and emergency cesarean deliveries.
Patients: Nine hundred patients were selected carefully to be enrolled in this study.
Results: Cesarean scar defects or niches were detected more frequently in emergency group 17.50% compared to 7.07% in scheduled group. Cutaneous cesarean scar examinations revealed that scars above symphysis pubis were more in scheduled group 84.14% while scars located at symphysis pubis were more in emergency groups 24.06% with p=0.002.
Conclusions: Scars resulting from scheduled cesarean sections are more thick, and with little incidence of defects than in emergency sections.
