   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caesarean hysterotomy scar; ultrasonography; reliability; Caesarean delivery; vaginal birth after Caesarean delivery; prediction model;

   Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to address the problems associated with the management of pregnancy and delivery after Caesarean delivery (CD), with emphasis on ultrasound diagnostics. The prognostic value and utility of serial ultrasound examinations of Caesarean hysterotomy scars in the non-pregnant state and during pregnancy subsequent to CD were studied. READ MORE

4. 2. Studying the healing and long-term outcomes of two partial thickness wound models using different wound dressings
