Frontiers in medicine·2026

Women with four or more prior cesarean deliveries face increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesions. Other maternal complications showed no significant differences compared to those with three or fewer cesarean deliveries.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Cesarean delivery is a common surgical procedure.
  • The impact of multiple prior cesarean deliveries on subsequent surgical outcomes requires careful evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare surgical complications between patients with three or fewer prior cesarean deliveries and those with four or more prior cesarean deliveries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 120 patients who underwent cesarean sections.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, operation details, anesthesia, number of prior cesareans, hospitalization time, and intra-operative/post-operative complications.

Main Results:

  • Patients with four or more prior cesarean deliveries exhibited a higher incidence of intra-abdominal adhesions.

  • No significant differences were observed in gestational weeks, neonatal admission rates, cesarean hysterectomy, uterine scar rupture, placenta previa with invasion anomalies, bladder/bowel injuries, peripartum hemorrhage, or blood transfusion rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesions is the primary complication associated with four or more prior cesarean deliveries.
    • Overall maternal complication rates do not significantly increase with a higher number of prior cesarean deliveries, excluding adhesions.
