Randomized Controlled TrialLongitudinal transvaginal ultrasound evaluation of cesarean scar niche incidence and depth in the first two years after single- or double-layer uterotomy closure: a randomized controlled trial.
Cesarean deliveries are the most common abdominal surgery procedure globally, and the optimal way to suture the hysterotomy remains a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of cesarean scar niches and the depth after single- or double-layer uterine closure. ⋯ The incidence of cesarean scar niche formation and the niche depth was independent of the hysterotomy closure technique.

Observational StudyIntrapartum transperineal ultrasound used to predict cases of complicated operative (vacuum and forceps) deliveries in nulliparous women.
The objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound in the identification of complicated operative (vacuum or forceps) deliveries in nulliparous women. ⋯ The sonographic parameters AoP2 and PD2 can be used to predict cases of complicated operative deliveries in nulliparous women.
