No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Women having cesarean section will be divided into two groups - cesarean section alone or cesarean section with appendectomy. The purpose is to see if the appendectomy can be done without adding any complications to the maternal post-operative course. The hypothesis is that there is no increased incidence of wound infection, post-operative morbidity or longer hospital stay associated with elective appendectomy at the time of Cesarean Section.
