Abstract
The measurement of the lower uterine segment (LUS) seems to be the best technique available to estimate the risk of uterine rupture, but there is a great heterogeneity in the techniques used. It appears necessary to standardize the interventions and their teaching prior to extending the use of the LUS measurement to clinical settings beyond well-defined research purposes.
