Abstract

Cesarean section defect had been found to be one of the causes of prolonged bleeding in women with previous cesarean delivery. Lin's hysteroscopy (TCR)-metroplasty method had focused on 4 predisposed anatomical defects, which ensured correction of the cesarean section defect. With this simple procedure, the patients had greatly improved their quality of life, as well as discomfort.
