The study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of perinatal tissue mesenchyme stem cells treatment on the appearance of a caesarean scar as compared to a similar untreated scar.
The rates of cesarean section (CS) are rising all over the world. Worldwide the number of CS is millions every year. CS is one of the most frequently performed operation for women. As a consequence many women have a scar in their uterus. Cesarean scar may be associated with complications in later pregnancies. In recent years there have also been a few reports indicating that cesarean scar could potentially be associated with menstrual disorders and infertility. The impact of cesarean scar defect on long term welfare or quality of life is not clear. In some women with a history of CS it is possible to recognise a defect in the site of previous uterotomy years after the performed CS by sonographic examination. This defect in the scar, also called as a niche, is a consequence of incomplete healing of the scar in the lower part of uterus. To date there is uncertainty relating to the factors that lead to poor healing of cesarean scar. Also impact of cesarean scar defect on later well-being and later pregnancies are not properly known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of cesarean scar defect. Also the impact of cesarean scar defect on women´s menstrual health, fertility, further deliveries and quality of life will be investigated. This study is a prospective observational cohort study. Women at the age of 18-45 years who will give birth by elective or emergency CS will be asked to participate. Women are recruited within two days of CS. Women with known uterus anomaly or von Willebrand disease will be excluded. The prevalence of scar defect will be evaluated by transvaginal sonography and contrast-enhanced sonohysterography using saline infusion. Both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional sonography will be used. Sonographic evaluation will take place 6 months after the CS. The following definition for CS scar defect will be used: myometrial discontinuity with a depth of ≥2 mm at the site of cesarean scar that communicates with the uterine or cervical cavity as seen on transvaginal sonography with or without saline infusion. The prevalence of menstrual disorders will be evaluated 12 months after the CS. The subjects will be asked to report the number of menstrual bleeding days once a month during 3 consecutive months. Postmenstrual spotting is defined as ≥2 days of brownish discharge at the end of menstruation with total bleeding days of ≥7 or non-cyclic bleeding not related to menstruation.
To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic use of a topical gel containing extract of allium cepae, allantoin and heparin after surgical removal of the primary cesarean scar in the second cesarean section.
A new era of outcomes for pediatric burn patients has begun as burn care continues to improve. Unfortunately, complete restoration of burn-injured skin may be limited by the development of hypertrophic scarring. Treatment with laser therapy is one of the newest forms of scar therapy available. Although laser therapy has only been adopted by burn clinicians within the last several years, early evidence suggests that it may offer significant benefits. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using laser therapy to treat hypertrophic burn scars in pediatric patients by using a comprehensive set of subjective and objective scar assessment tools.
This is a prospective, single-blinded, two-arm, randomized, parallel, pragmatic, effectiveness trial that will enroll patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in order to evaluate the efficacy of using Medipore tape to improve cosmetic wound healing and scaring.
Investigators selected participants who operated by laparoscopic technique due to any gynecologic indication according to random number table. The ten mm trocar was inserted supraumbilical, infraumbilical and intraumbilical. The verres needle was not used in all of patients. One month after we evaluated umbilical scar by used vancouver scar scale and compared results of vancouver scar scale.
Fractional Co2-laser for treatment of mature caesarean section scars.
To investigate intervention with early application of non-ablative laser to prevent scarring in the skin
This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, prospective trial assessing the efficacy and safety of microneedling treatment alone vs. microneedling treatment followed by treatment with Bellafill for correction of distensible atrophic facial acne scars.
