What is it about?
Scares of previous repeated CS may be a problem during the next pregnancy. We have shown that measurement of scare thickness can predict the requirement for CS during the next pregnancy.

Why is it important?
We clarify the relationship between the CS scare and the possibility of adverse outcomes of the next CS during the next pregnancy. The present data addressed the importance of assessing the lower uterine segment thickness at term as a predictor of the next CS timing in Iraqi pregnant women with two or more previous CSs. The present work supported the previous idea that the LUS thickness could be an appropriate predictor of CS scar dehiscence and shorter GA and may help those interested in this field to clarify the importance of this marker in determining the fetal outcomes.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long-standing collaborations. This article also leads to provide local data about the exclusion of emergency CS cases and the inclusion of pregnant women with previous multiple cesarean sections. The limitation of the present study was the relatively small sample size of recruited pregnant women, based on the rate of CS performed in the hospital.
