Longitudinal observation data on Scar defect presence and defect contact with the uterine cavity in women with all three follow‐up controls (total number of women who attended 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 0.017, test significance of variable Closure technique is 0.065 and test significance of interaction Time with Closure technique (change of closure technique outcome in time) is 0.493
