Longitudinal observation data on Scar defect in anteflexion/retroflexion (AVF/RVF) uterus in women with all three follow‐up controls (total number of women who attended 12‐months follow up, with all three controls = 324). Test of dependence of outcome on time (generalized linear mixed model): test significance of variable Time is 0.001, test significance of variable Closure technique is 0.003 and test significance of interaction Time with Closure technique (change of closure technique outcome in time) is 0.821
