These defects are characterised by an indentation at the site of the previous caesarean scar, potentially leading to clinical issues such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility. Here, we report and discuss a case of a woman in her late 30s who presented with a series of complications and subsequently subfertility as a result of her CSD and how she was sequentially managed. Following open repair of her CSD with a novel modified myometrial repair technique, she managed to conceive through in vitro fertilisation techniques and delivered uneventfully via elective repeat C-section at term.\n- Pregnancy\n- Reproductive medicine\nStatistics from Altmetric.com\nFootnotes\nContributors The following authors were responsible for drafting of the text, sourcing and editing of clinical images, investigation results, drawing original diagrams and algorithms, and critical revision for important intellectual content: HMAH, SIT, TXE, SHMS.
