Background Uterine isthmocele, a defect in the uterine wall at the cesarean scar, is increasingly recognized due to the rising rate of cesarean deliveries. Often asymptomatic, it may lead to complications such as abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, secondary infertility, or uterine rupture during subsequent pregnancies. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence, clinical features, and associated risk factors of uterine isthmocele among women with previous cesarean scars over four years (2019-2023) at Rabia Balkhi Hospital, Afghanistan.

Isthmocele is a myometrial defect in the uterine isthmus, often resulting from previous caesarean sections. With rising cesarean rates globally, including a significant increase in India, the prevalence of isthmocele has become a noteworthy clinical concern. Isthmocele can lead to symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and secondary infertility, often detected through transvaginal ultrasound or MRI.

Approximately 60% of patients undergoing Cesarean sections may develop Cesarean Scar Defect (CSD), presenting a significant clinical challenge amidst the increasing Cesarean section rates. This condition, marked by a notch in the anterior uterine wall, has evolved as a notable topic in gynecological research. The multifactorial origins of CSD can be broadly classified into labor-related factors, patients' physical conditions, and surgical quality.

Background Isthmocele or a scar defect is a relatively common consequence of cesarean section resulting in menstrual disturbances and infertility and may compromise the myometrial integrity of the uterus in women contemplating subsequent vaginal birth. Several preventive measures have been suggested, including the modification of surgical techniques used for the closure of the uterine incision. The current study aimed to compare the incidence of isthmocele and assess residual myometrial thickness in women who underwent single versus parallel layered closure to approximate the endo-myometrial layer during cesarean section.

Objectives: The primary objective was to detect the number of women developing isthmocele following lower segment caesarean section. The secondary objectives included analysing the risk factors associated with developing isthmocele and measuring the agreement between Transvaginal Ultrasonography (TVS) and Saline infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) in diagnosing Isthmocele.
Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and focused on women who had undergone Lower Segment cesarean Section (LSCS).
