Abstract

Although the World Health Organization suggests 10-15% as the adequate cesarean delivery rate to assure optimal prognosis for mother and children, cesarean rates have continuously increased worldwide over the last three decades, even in primiparous women. Moreover, uterine scars after myomectomies, complications of obstetrical interventions and more recently, after fetal surgery, are often observed. This review article describes the most commonly seen complications related to prior uterine scars and discusses their imaging findings, with emphasis on the increasing role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for diagnosis.
