Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of amniotic membrane application during cesarean delivery in reducing post-surgical complications and improving wound healing and cosmetic outcomes in women aged 18-40 undergoing their first cesarean section. The primary questions this study aims to answer are:

1. Compared to standard care, Does the amniotic membrane reduce surgical site infections and wound dehiscence?
2. Does the amniotic membrane improve patient satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes?

Participants were randomized into two groups: the intervention group received an amniotic membrane application over the cesarean incision site, while the control group underwent cesarean delivery without membrane application. Outcomes were assessed at predefined postoperative intervals, focusing on wound healing, pain levels, and cosmetic satisfaction.

Amniotic Membrane Application

Amniotic Membrane Application: This intervention involves the application of an amniotic membrane harvested intraoperatively from the fetal side of the placenta during cesarean delivery. The membrane is placed directly on the incision site before surgical closure to promote wound healing and reduce complications such as infection, dehiscence, and scarring. The membrane is removed 24 hours postoperatively, and standard wound care is continued thereafter.
