In this study, a higher uterine incision due to placenta previa or isthmic myoma seems to be correlated with a major risk of UR. Therefore, periconceptional US examination of CS-VVF distance, (which represents the level of the previous CS), seems to be a useful predictive factor of pre-labor UR in subsequent pregnancies.
