Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the best time interval between consecutive cesarean sections and compare maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with a history of previous cesarean sections. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the optimal time interval between consecutive cesarean sections for minimizing maternal intraoperative complications, blood transfusions, and intra- and postoperative bleeding?
* What are the differences in fetal and neonatal outcomes based on different time intervals between cesarean sections?

Participants will be divided into five subgroups based on the time interval since their last cesarean section: 0-12 months, 12-24 months, 25-36 months, 37-48 months, and more than 48 months. Each participant will undergo an elective cesarean section and provide data on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Researchers will compare these subgroups to see if varying time intervals between consecutive cesarean sections affect maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cesarean Delivery

A Pfannenstiel abdominal incision is made. The skin and rectus sheath are transversely opened using sharp dissection, and the rectus sheath is separated from the underlying rectus abdominis muscles. The peritoneum is then longitudinally opened using sharp dissection. A transverse incision is made in the lower segment of the uterus, which is subsequently closed with two layers of continuous sutures. Both peritoneal layers are closed with continuous sutures. The fascia is closed using either continuous or interrupted sutures. Finally, the skin is closed with either interrupted sutures or a continuous intracutaneous suture.
