Sliding Sign in Late Trimester Ultrasound Evaluation of Intra-abdominal Adhesions in Women Undergoing Repeat CS

"All women had Transabdominal Ultra-sonography using SAMSUNG WS80 elite ultrasound machine during the preoperative examination, using the real-time Transabdominal pelvic features (the relative motion between the maternal abdominal and uterine wall).~The patient was asked to breathe deeply, accentuating her respiratory movements and the sonographer recorded a video clip in a mid-sagittal plane lateral to umbilicus focus on the infra-umbilical space, to determine whether the structure glided freely in relation to adjacent structures. To be considered as sliding, the structures had to glide easily, one against the other (positive sliding sign); no motion of the structure in question signaled a negative sliding sign."
