RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With a rising number of cesarean sections, the prevalence of uterine isthmoceles is increasing. We performed a rapid review to assess the most recent data on the diagnosis and management of uterine isthmoceles over the past 18âmonths to identify current trends and directions for continued research. RECENT FINDINGS: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed (NLM), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost) to find English written articles discussing the diagnosis or management of uterine isthmoceles published in the previous 18âmonths. Data extraction was performed on one hundred articles that met inclusion criteria. SUMMARY: This rapid review highlights agreement regarding diagnostic methods, symptoms, and recommended treatment paths for patients with symptomatic uterine niches. However, the diversity in definitions hampers the capacity to formulate detailed conclusions regarding the features of uterine niches and their impact on women's health.
