Does a Caesarean Section Scar Affect Placental Volume, Vascularity and Localization?

Caesarean section is associated with an increased risk of abnormal placental implantation and adverse pregnancy outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. Besides the placenta accrete spectrum, only a few of the previous studies focused on other placental development alterations in the scarred uterus. We assessed placental development deviations in the uterus with a Caesarean section scar by evaluating placental volume (PV) and vascular flow indexes.

Literature Review of Cervical Regeneration after Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure, and Study Project (CeVaLEP) Proposal.

Objective: To compile existing knowledge on the level of cervical regeneration (detected by ultrasound) after loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and to suggest research protocol for further studies.

Methods: We conducted a literature search of Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases using the keywords "cervix" and "regeneration" without year restrictions. Our eligibility criteria included studies that analysed cervical volume and length regeneration using ultrasound.
