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.

  • 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.
