Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the use of barbed sutures to close uterine incision at cesarean section is associated with more postoperative adhesions compared with conventional sutures or not.
Detailed Description
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the use of barbed sutures to close uterine incision at cesarean section is associated with an increase in the rate of postoperative adhesions compared with conventional sutures or not. Primigravida patients undergoing transverse lower segment cesarean section will be included in the study.Cesarean section incision will be closed with double layers of continuous barbed or conventional sutures.Patients who will return for a repeat caesarean (elective or emergency) will be evaluated intraoperatively for the presence of adhesions between various pelvic structures.
