Obesity: Cesarean Health by Incision Placement

NCT02909582 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 284

Last updated 2018-07-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hypothesis: A Pfannenstiel cesarean skin incision placed under the pannus (should a pannus exist) will have a higher maternal morbidity composite rate than a Cohen cesarean skin incision placed above the pannus (should a pannus exist).

Conditions

  • Maternal Morbidity

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cohen Incision

This is a straight transverse incision through the skin, 3 cm below the level of the anterior superior iliac spines (higher than the Pfannenstiel incision). Should a pannus exist, the pannus should be left in the physiologic location (not retracted) to allow placement of the incision.
