Research progress of epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of cesarean scar defect after cesarean section / 复旦学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

With the rising rate of cesarean section (CS),the presence of a niche at the site of a CS scar,one of the potential long-term morbidity of CS,has also been increasingly observed.Currently,there are no standard diagnostic methods for evaluating cesarean scar defect (CSD).The incidence and prevalence of CSD are also not well established.Risk factors of CSD occurrence include history of CS,factors affecting labor,uterine position,closure technique,and factors related to immunity and inflammation.It is important to further study the epidemiology of CSD in order to prevent,treat and improve prognosis of CSD.
