An update on the methodologies of Cesarean scars closure - switching away from swift 1 layer closure to refinement by third layer - A Minireview
This minireview updates methodologies for cesarean scar closure, transitioning from single-layer to third-layer closure to prevent complications like infertility and uterine rupture.

This minireview updates different surgical methodologies for closing cesarean scars, focusing on a shift from “swift” one- or two-layer closure to adding refinement via a third layer. It describes the high-level rationale that better closure can help avoid embedding endometrial tissue into the myometrium and prevent mucosal tearing against suture material—both of which can contribute to poor repair. The review synthesizes comparisons of single- versus double-layer closure, locking versus nonlocking sutures, suture type, and suture trajectory, and concludes that an ideal approach should account for uterine anatomy, restore tissue coordination, and achieve hemostasis without harming perfusion or strangulating tissues, though as a review it does not provide a new, definitive experimental test. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper explicitly states that dysfunctional cesarean scar repair after endometrial incorporation can result in endometriosis at the scar region, though its main focus is cesarean scar closure methodology.
