Abstract EN
Cesarean scar defects (CSDs) that can be visualized using transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) may cause prolonged menstruation, irregular genital bleeding, and secondary infertility; surgical repair is sometimes necessary.
We present a case of CSD, with dehiscence of the uterine incision, which was managed using wound lavage.
A 38-year-old woman (gravida 4, para 4) had delivered her third and fourth children by cesarean section.
Upon the resumption of menstruation, 9 months after her second cesarean section, she demonstrated prolonged menstruation and the presence of a menstrual fistula due to dehiscence of the cesarean section incision from the myometrium to the serosa.
We treated the defect by lavaging with a physiological saline solution.
After lavaging the wound 3 times, spontaneous healing of the dehiscent muscle layer was successfully achieved.
The treatment was complication-free and the healing of the muscle layer has been maintained for more than 8 months.
