Iatrogenic abscess at uterine incision site after cesarean section: sonographic monitoring.

A woman with a large abscess at the site of a uterine incision after a cesarean section was successfully managed without hysterectomy. To my knowledge, transvaginal sonographic monitoring of the healing of an abscess at the site of a uterine incision has not been reported. Although in this case it was possible to preserve the uterus, the possibility of a weak uterine scar remains. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
