Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Cervical incompetence is a condition where the cervix dilates prematurely.
  • Previous uterine surgeries, including caesarean sections, are potential risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of cervical incompetence following a caesarean section.
  • To discuss the aetiological role of caesarean section in cervical incompetence.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Literature review on caesarean section and cervical incompetence.

Main Results:

  • A patient developed cervical incompetence after undergoing a caesarean section.
  • The findings suggest a potential link between caesarean section and the development of cervical incompetence.

Conclusions:

  • Caesarean section may be an aetiological factor in cervical incompetence.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms and prevalence.
