Brief Summary

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

This study aims to compare two techniques for performing a cesarean delivery: Misgav Ladach versus French Ambulatory Cesarean Section (FAUCS). The second techniques has been claimed to reduce post-operative pain, the need for analgesics, and reduce the time for ambulation. Such comparison has not been done so far, and this study will examined if indeed the FAUCS techniques offers any advantages.

Detailed Description

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

The FAUCS technique for performing a cesarean section has been described by a French group several years ago, and is claimed to reduce postoperative pain and increase ambulation. With this technique, after making the transverse skin incision, the fascia is opened vertically and to the left of the linea alba. The left rectus abdominis muscle is then pushed laterally, and the abdominal cavity is entered. The uterine incision in performed as usual. Due to the reduced incision size, a special spatula is used to facilitate extraction of the fetal head in some cases. No urinary catheter is used during or after the operation, and fluid administration is restricted during the procedure. The patient is encouraged to get out of bed 3-4 hours post surgery. This technique for performing a cesarean section will be compared with the traditional (Misgav Ladach technique) in terms of post-operative pain, need for analgesics, ambulation, neonatal outcome, and perioperative complications.
