Our research has shown that women who have undergone multiple caesarean deliveries, have a higher maternal body mass index (BMI), and experienced longer surgery duration are at a significantly higher risk of developing isthmocele. To prevent its development, it is recommended to promote vaginal birth after caesarean delivery whenever feasible, manage maternal obesity early on, and provide adequate surgical training to medical professionals. Additionally, transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is an effective method for detecting isthmocele and can be used interchangeably with saline-infused sonography (SIS).
