Rectus Muscle Closure vs. Non-Closure at Primary Cesarean Delivery and Post-Operative Pain

Stanford University·interventional·Posted Jul 23, 2007·Updated Nov 6, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Rectus closure for Pain. Completed, enrolled 63 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Suture reapproximation of the rectus muscles at primary cesarean delivery is a common practice about which there are no data. Some Obstetricians believe that suture reapproximation of the rectus muscles increases post-operative pain, and it may decrease adhesions, yet there are no published data to support or refute these claims. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of rectus muscle reapproximation at cesarean delivery and post-operative pain. We also plan to assess the impact of rectus muscle closure on adhesions as seen at repeat cesarean delivery.
