Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cesarean section is one of the oldest surgical interventions in the history of medicine.Many variations in cesarean section technique have been studied.The investigatory team are aiming to decrease blood loss during cesarean section by vertical splitting versus transverse cutting of muscle layer in lower segment cesarean sections to avoid uterine vessels injury.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cesarean section is one of the oldest surgical interventions in the history of medicine.Since the first documented cesarean delivery in 1020 AD, various modifications have been made in the technique. It was a surgery performed as a last resort, mostly peri- or post-portem.

Many variations in cesarean section technique have been studied.our study aim is to decrease blood loss during cesarean section through decreasing incidence of uterine vessels injury. The investigator supposed that applying Vertical pull on a small C-shaped incision in the lower uterine segment during cesarean section allows the tissues to split along their natural arrangement, decreasing the probability of extension of the wound into the uterine vessels, thus; decreasing blood loss; operative time and maternal recovery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Transverse splitting

transverse cutting and/or pulling of lower uterine segment during lower segment cesarean section.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Transverse cutting

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Transverse cutting and/or pulling.of lower uterine segment during lower cesarean section extending the uterine incision laterally.

Vertical splitting

vertical splitting,of lower uterine segment during lower segment cesarean section.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

vertical splitting

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

vertical splitting of lower uterine segment during lower cesarean section making the direction of traction up and downward instead of being laterally and we suppose that this will allow the tissues to split along their natural arrangement, decreasing the probability of extension of the wound into the uterine vessels, thus; decreasing blood loss; operative time and maternal recovery.
