Summary

We include in our study 200 pregnant women, primigravidas, at term who underwent elective lower segment Cesarean section for the first time among the age group of 20 - 35 years.

The patients are divided randomly into two groups as follows:

* Group (A): undergoing rectus muscle re-approximation
* Group (B): not undergoing rectus muscle re-approximation

Conditions

  • Post Cesarean Section Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

cesarean section

All women underwent Pfnannenstiel incision under general or spinal anaesthesia, with a combination of sharp and blunt dissection to open the abdomen. The rectus muscles are dissected off the fascia, and the muscles are separated in the midline by pulling. Then the uterus is opened followed by fetal and placental extraction. The transverse lower uterine segment incision is closed in two layers of continuous Vicryl number 1 suture. The parietal peritoneum is closed using a continuous absorbable suture. In group (A): rectus muscle re-approximation is done by 3 interrupted sutures, but muscle is not closed in the other group. The rectus sheath is sutured using continuous absorbable sutures. Finally, skin is sutured with subcuticular sutures with Vicryl Rapide
