Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
skin incision with a scalpel
In the scalpel group, the incision was made by the traditional method, with proper homeostasis by applying pressure to skin blood vessels and ligating the subcutaneous bleeding.
skin incision with a scalpel
A Pfannenstiel skin incision was done through the subcutaneous tissue, rectus sheath and dissected from rectus muscle until peritoneum was visualized.
group 1 (skin incision with a scalpel)
skin incision with diathermy
In the diathermy group, the incision made using a small flat blade pen electrode, set on cutting mode and delivering a 120 watt (maximum) sinusoidal current, electrosurgical cutting performed without pressure or mechanical displacement.
skin incision with diathermy
A Pfannenstiel skin incision was done through the subcutaneous tissue, rectus sheath and dissected from rectus muscle until peritoneum was visualized.
group 2 (skin incision with diathermy)
