No studies were found that analysed the properties of the caesarean scar, therefore the new study analysed the myometrial immunohistochemical expression of elastin, collagen type VI, alpha smooth muscle actin, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, and endothelial cell marker CD31. The aim of the study was to determine the risk of uterine rupture in future pregnancies.
