What Is a Cesarean
Scar Defect?

A cesarean scar defect, also called an isthmocele, occurs when the uterine incision from a prior C-section heals incompletely, leaving a small pouch or thinning of the uterine wall. This can lead to abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, fertility challenges, or complications during future pregnancies. Early evaluation and expert care are key to restoring uterine integrity and optimizing reproductive outcomes. Women seeking the best c-section scar surgeon in Los Angeles rely on Dr. Sukrant Mehta for precise, minimally invasive solutions that protect fertility and long-term health.
Dr. Mehta is a board-certified, fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon who specializes in repairing cesarean scar defects using laparoscopic or hysteroscopic techniques.
