About this study

Official title: Intraoperative and Postoperative Results of Rectus Musle Reapproximation During Cesarean Section

During Cesarean section in Group 1 rectus muscle will be closed with interrupted sutures. In group 2 rectus muscle will not be closed. Postoperative pain scores, distance between the rectus muscles and bowel functions will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Pfannenstiel incision will be done under general or spinal anesthesia. The abdomen will be opened and fetus and placenta will be delivered. Then the abdomen will be closed. In Group 1 rectus muscle will be closed with interrupted sutures. In group 2 rectus muscle will not be closed. Postoperative pain scores, distance between the rectus muscles and bowel functions will be evaluated.

Being tested
Cesarean Section

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative pain: Visual Analog Score

    Visual Analog Scores, minimum score is 0, maximum score is 10. Score 10 represents highest pain score.

    Measured: 24 hours after the procedure

  2. Postoperative interrectus distance

    Distance between the margins of the rectus muscles in centimeters will be measured with ultrasonography

    Measured: 6 weeks after the procedure
