Niche presence and changes of the uterine scar in the first year after caesarean section: A prospective longitudinal study
Uterine scar measurements and niche prevalence decreased up to 6 months post-caesarean section, with a subsequent increase in RMT up to 12 months. It is therefore recommended to postpone evaluation of the uterine scar until at least 6 months after caesarean section, as most changes occur within this initial period.
