Study Objective: Previous cesarean delivery scar (PCDS) defect has been described as a cause of intermenstrual bleeding in women with no other uterine pathology except for a pouch on the anterior uterine segment at the site of the cesarean scar. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of hysteroscopic surgery to correct this anatomic defect and eliminate the bleeding disturbance in a group of women with this symptom.

Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification XX).

Objective: We sought (1) to describe an anatomic defect of the uterine cavity in the anterior isthmus diagnosed by transvaginal sonography in a group of premenopausal women with previous cesarean deliveries, (2) to establish whether there is an association between the presence of the pouch and a bleeding disturbance, and (3) to compare the diagnostic efficacy of transvaginal sonography versus hysteroscopy for the detection of this defect.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 92 premenopausal women with histories of at least 1 cesarean delivery. Age, number of previous cesarean deliveries, time elapsed between last cesarean delivery and first consultation, and total area of the pouch were recorded in groups of women with and without abnormal bleeding.
