title: Robotic repair of uterine dehiscence.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  During the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of cesarean deliveries, and thus an increase in the number of complications. A common complication of multiple cesarean deliveries is symptomatic uterine scar dehiscence, for which there are no treatment guidelines available. We report a case of uterine scar dehiscence-the repair of it by robotic surgery-and review the literature on this defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient was a 39-year-old woman, gravida 4 para 2022, complaining of persistent vaginal spotting for the prior 5 months with a history of a cesarean delivery 3 months before the onset of the symptoms.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report a case of a successful robotic repair of a symptomatic cesarean scar defect.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We propose further studies that include more patients so this technique may become the standard for cesarean scar defect.
