Background. Diverticulum, one of the long-term sequelae of cesarean section, can cause abnormal uterine bleeding and increase the risk of uterine scar rupture. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combined laparoscopic and hysteroscopic repair, a newly occurring method, treating post-cesarean section uterine scar diverticulum.Methods. Data relating to 40 patients with post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum who underwent combined laparoscopic and hysteroscopic repair were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative clinical manifestations, size of uterine defects, thickness of the lower uterine segment (LUS), and duration of menstruation were compared with follow-up findings at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.Results. The average preoperative length and width of uterine diverticula and thickness of the lower uterine segment were recorded and analyzed. The average durations of menstruations at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were significantly shorter than the preoperative one (p<0.05), respectively. At 6 months after surgery, the overall success improvement rate of surgery was 90% (36/40). Three patients (3/40 = 7.5%) developed partial improvement, and 1/40 (2.5%) was lost to follow-up.Conclusions. Our findings showed that combined treatment with laparoscopy and hysteroscopy was an effective method for the repair of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum.

Uterine Scar

Background: Cesarean section uterine scar dehiscence (CSD) is a rare but notable complication of Lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) surgery. The cause for a uterine scar dehiscence is based on the etiology behind the uterine scar defect or any event that would predispose the cesarean scar to dehisce. Globally accepted option for assessing the CS scar is transvaginal ultrasonography of the non-pregnant uterus. Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of lower uterine segment scar thickness≤1.6mm in the prediction of scar dehiscence in patients with previous one LSCS who are undergoing repeat LSCS after trial of labour taking intraoperative findings as gold standard. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Services Hospital, Lahore for 6 months. The Non probability consecutive sampling technique was used to include women with previous one LSCS at 36-38 weeks were asked to get their TVS done for scar thickness. Women with scar thickness≤1.6mm and scar thickness>1.6mm were identified. Their intraoperative findings of scar dehiscence were confirmed. All the data was entered and analyzed on SPSS version 20. Results: The mean age of patients was 29.87±6.07 years. The emergency LSCS was done in 599(49.1%) patients and elective LSCS was done in 621(50.9%) patients. The sensitivity, specificity & diagnostic accuracy of TVS was 98.31%, 99.05% & 98.69% respectively. Conclusion: According to our study results the TVS for uterine scar is a very useful and effective tool in the prediction of scar dehiscence in patients with previous one LSCS taking intraoperative findings as gold standard.

ABSTRACT This case of 21 years old primigravida with 28 weeks pregnancy with a massive lower uterine fibroid is unique because of the classical cesarean section and spontaneous degeneration and expulsion of the fibroid which is a rarity.
