What Is a Uterine Isthmocele?

A uterine isthmocele, also called a cesarean scar defect, is a thinning or pouch-like deformity in the uterine wall at the site of a previous C-section. It can cause abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, or complications in future pregnancies. Repairing an isthmocele can restore uterine anatomy, reduce symptoms, and improve fertility outcomes.
Women seeking the best cesarean scar defect surgeon in Los Angeles often turn to Dr. Sukrant Mehta for his minimally invasive, precision approach that prioritizes both symptom relief and reproductive potential.

When Is Uterine Isthmocele Repair Recommended?

You may be a candidate for isthmocele repair if you experience:

  • Postmenstrual spotting or prolonged bleeding
  • Pelvic pain or discomfort
  • Difficulty conceiving after a prior C-section
  • Uterine scar complications affecting fertility or pregnancy outcomes
  • Recurring pregnancy loss associated with scar defects

Dr. Mehta evaluates each case carefully, considering scar location, size, symptoms, and reproductive goals before recommending a surgical approach.

What Happens During a Uterine Isthmocele Repair?

Preparation

Imaging studies, including ultrasound or MRI, help determine the defect size and plan the surgical approach. Dr. Mehta explains the procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery process in detail.

Procedure

Using minimally invasive techniques, the scar defect is excised, and the uterine wall is reconstructed to restore normal thickness and shape. Care is taken to preserve fertility and reduce the risk of adhesions.

After-Care

Most patients return home the same day or within 24 hours. Recovery is generally quick, with a gradual return to normal activities over one to two weeks, depending on complexity.
