We developed a study during 2009 and 2016 in two tertiary care units in Bucharest: ‘St. Pantelimon’ Emergency Hospital and ‘Bucur’ Maternity. The study group included 110 nonpregnant women with history of low transverse CS with single or double layer uterine closure. Transvaginal ultrasound was performed to establish the parameters of the Caesarean scar: • the thickness of the tissue scar segment • the triangular shaped anechoic scar defect. We identified the basis of the triangle (P) and the height of the triangle (W) and we made the index thickness/basis and thickness/height of triangle.
