Long Term Comparison of Double Layer Continuously Locked Closure of Uterine Incision in Cesarean Section Versus Double Layer Purse String Closure (Turan Technique): A Prospective Randomized Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Purse string closure technique and Continuously locked closure technique for Cesarean Section; Complications and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 168 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cesarean section (C/S) is an operation most commonly performed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics. Complications related with incomplete healing of Kerr uterine incision after C/S (adhesions, separation (dehiscence), endometritis, endometriosis, anomalous placentation in subsequent pregnancies, incomplete or complete uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies, ...) are very important issues. Classically Kerr incision is repaired with continuous locked suturing. Purse string suturing of Kerr incision may reduce the size of the incision and in turn may reduce short and long term complications. For this reason, the investigators aimed to compare two closure techniques.
