Longitudinal observation data on Presence of scar defect in women with all three follow up controls (total number of women who attended the 12‐month follow up, with all three controls = 324). Test of dependence of outcome on time (generalized linear mixed model): test significance of variable Time is 0.247, test significance of variable Closure technique is 0.036 and test significance of interaction Time with Closure technique (change of closure technique outcome in time) is 0.370
