Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in the healing process in those women who have a one- or two-layer uterine closure at the time of cesarean delivery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We are recruiting women who are presenting for their first (primary) cesarean delivery. They will be randomized to one- or two-layer myometrial closure at the time of their cesarean delivery. Ultrasound will be used to serially assess the myometrial thickness and myometrial remodeling process.
