All cesarean cases were first operational delivery with lower uterine incision, repaired with double\u2010layer suture. At 1 and 4\u2009weeks postpartum, the uterus was delineated using transvaginal ultrasonography with superb microvascular imaging. Separate regions of interest were created for anterior myometrium of the isthmus and the body. The microvascular flow profile in three circular sampling points placed in a region of interest was quantified and expressed as vascular density. The vascular density ratio of the uterine isthmus to the body was compared between one and four weeks for both groups. Wilcoxon's signed\u2010rank test was used to assess statistical significance (set at\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In cesarean deliveries, the vascular density ratio of the uterine isthmus to the body increased from 1 (median: 0.51, range: 0.30\u20130.68) to 4\u2009weeks (0.99, 0.85\u20131.60), whereas no changes were noted
