Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Cesarean section rate is increasing in recent practice. It accounts the most commonly performed surgical procedure in women.

Women delivered by cesarean section are prone to some late complications such as CS niche, abnormally adherent placenta, trapped intrauterine device in previous scar and abnormal implantation of gestational sac at the scar.

Ultrasound offers a non-invasive approach to visualize the myometrial scar. It can assess its condition in both normal and pathological states.


AIM OF THE WORK
To assess the ability of the ultrasound in evaluation of uterine Wall cesarean section scar.
PATIENTS
A total number of 500 female patients referred to Radiology Department of Alexandria University Main Hospital and El-Shatby Hospital, for pelvic ultrasound assessment. Out of these 500 women, 276(55.2%) were excluded due to absence of definite cesarean section delivery (subjected to normal vaginal delivery); the remaining 224 women (44.8%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study and were enrolled.
