This minireview updates cesarean scar closure methodologies in the context of rising cesarean delivery rates and the subsequent risks of pelvic pain, infertility, uterine rupture, and abnormal placentation in later pregnancies. It discusses moving from simpler one- or two-layer uterine closure approaches toward refinement by a third layer, aiming to reduce endometrial tissue being embedded into the myometrium and to prevent mucosal tearing against suture material, which the review links to impaired repair outcomes such as niches/isthmoceles and development of adenomyosis or endometriosis at the scar region. The paper synthesizes comparative findings across closure variables including single- versus double-layer closure, locking versus nonlocking sutures, suture type, and suture trajectory. As a minireview, it does not provide new primary data and relies on the previously reported comparative literature summarized by the authors. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and also explicitly addresses adenomyosis, focusing specifically on how cesarean scar closure techniques may influence the development of endometriosis/adenomyosis at the scar region.

Abstract

The worldwide escalation in cesarean delivery delineates one of the maximum sequential switching in synchronous obstetric setting. Cesarean section rates have escalated considerably in recent years and are forecasted to remain escalating globally, with significant repercussion for women’s prolonged time period gynecologic in addition to reproductive health. Despite, the uterus has excellent repair plausibility, cesarean delivery escalates the risk of i) secondary infertility, ii) pelvic pain, iii) uterine rupture, in addition to iv) aberrant placentation in following pregnancies. Here we update the variable methodologies that would aid in avoidance of such complications by oving from 1-2 till third layerto i) avoid embedding of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, along with ii) to prevent mucosal tearing against a foreign body (for instance suture material), iii) both of that escalate susceptibility to deficient repair. Once the endometrium is incorporated, repair is usually dysfunctional, resulting in i) niches or ii) isthmoceles, iii)adenomyosis, and, iv) endometriosis at the scar region . With the passage of time, such deficiencies have been acknowledged further in the form of aiding in i) aberrant bleeding, ii) pelvic pain, iii) infertility iv) uterine rupture, in addition to v) placenta accreta range of situations . The repeated monitoring of closure methodologies got stimulated, inclusive of contrasting of i) single-layer vs double-layer closure, ii) locking vs nonlocking sutures, iii) kind of sutures, iv) and the trajectory of suture. Taken together, the data illustrated that ideal closure needs to take into account uterine anatomy, rectification of the natural coordination of tissues, and in attains hemostasis without jeopardizing perfusion or strangulating tissues. Hopefully such arbitrations proveto be of greater advantage without any inimical sequelae subsequent to cesarean delivery.
