title: Hysterography after lower-uterine-segment caesarean section.
abstract: A radiological method of assessment of Caesarean-section wound healing is described. A total of fifty-eight cervico-hysterosalpingograms were performed, ten as controls and forty-eight on patients each of whom had primary or multiple Caesarean sections. Radiological changes were noted in the cervix, isthmus, uterus and the fallopian tubes. The exact significance of some of the radiological changes demonstrated in the cervico-hysterosalpingograms is not yet clear but it is believed that the follow-up of these patients in subsequent deliveries will amplify the significance of these changes which may revolutionize the present policy of delivery following lower-segment Caesarean section in our community.
