AJOG Expert Review: Uterine closure after cesarean delivery: surgical principles, biological rationale, and clinical implications - First hypothesis for the mechanism of uterine scar defect: incomplete approximation of the myometrium

Including less tissue (B) may reduce strangulation but could cause incomplete approximation of the myometrium (C). The black star shows where the myometrium has not been appropriately approximated. https://ow.ly/Furt50Xs3Xx
