Newly Published Research Reveals a Breakthrough in Cesarean Surgery and Maternal Outcomes
As cesarean births continue to rise worldwide, a groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology* is changing how experts think about C-sections, showing that how the uterus is closed during surgery may play a key role in preventing serious complications in future pregnancies, including Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS).
The research focuses on the Endometrium-Free Closure Technique (EFCT), a method of closing the uterus that restores natural tissue alignment while protecting the uterine lining. Based on decades of patient data, the study found that women whose C-sections used this technique experienced better healing, fewer scar-related problems, and much lower rates of abnormal placental attachment in pregnancies.
