Summary

Caesarean section is one of the most commonly performed abdominal operations on women in most countries of the world. Its rate has increased markedly in recent years, and is about 20-25% of all child-births in most developed countries.

The present study was a step to reduce postoperative pain in cesarean sections. Because of the large number of women that undergo caesarean section, even small differences in post-operative morbidity rates due to different techniques could translate into improved health and significant savings of cost and health services resources.

Closing the rectus sheath in cesarean sections with the knots pricking through the skin causes significant postoperative pain, discomfort and delayed ambulation. No comments in literature regarding the best way for closing the rectus sheath in cesarean sections.

AIM/ OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of burying knots beneath the rectus sheath during cesarean section in reducing post operative pain and discomfort.

Study hypothesis:

In women undergoing cesarean sections may or may not burying knots beneath the rectus sheath reduce the post operative pain and discomfort.
