WHAT THIS EVIDENCE MEANS FOR PRACTICE • Contrast infusion sonography has better sensitivity than TVUS at identification of the scar defect. • About 64.5% of women are predicted to have scar defects after one cesarean delivery. • The incidence of scar defects increases with increasing number of cesarean deliveries. • One of three women with CSD is predicted to experience postmenstrual bleeding. • Women with deeper and wider defects are more likely to experience postmenstrual bleeding. • Post–cesarean section AUB is a probable occurrence in approximately 20% of all cesarean deliveries. Perhaps this information should be considered part of the informed consent process for cesarean delivery.
