Summary

Cesarean delivery rates in Turkey as well as all over the world are increasing. Recent data in Turkey shows that the value of cesarean delivery rate reached 53%. This worldwide increase causes new concerns. Incomplete healing of the uterine scar after cesarean is a complication with potential long-term consequences. There is evidence that the risk of uterine scar defects is associated with the number of previous cesarean deliveries and the method of uterotomy closure. Study was designed as prospective randomized clinical trial to analyze the effects of two different uterine suture techniques. The investigators aim is to compare the closure of the incision with the "baseball" suture technique and the single-layer locking technique in terms of the incidence and depth of the isthmocele in the uterine incision scar as a short-term result.

Conditions

  • Isthmocele
  • Cesarean Section Complications

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Uterine closure with "Baseball" suture technique

A simple running (continuous) "baseball" suture is essentially an interrupted sutures. Applied as inside to outside/inside to outside of incision.

PROCEDURE

Single Layer Continuous Locked

Suturing is continued by passing through the previous stitch.
