CS: UT in or UT out? New July 2026 Data

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in. If you’ve spent any time in the OR during a cesarean delivery, you know that the choice between uterine exteriorization and in situ repair usually comes down to how you were trained or personal surgeon preference.

This episode, we are getting a sneak peek at a brand-new systematic review and meta-analysis dropping this July 2026 in the European Journal of OBGYN. We’re asking the big question: is this the study that finally settles the debate once and for all? Grab your coffee, stick around, and let’s find out.
