Knot Burial Technique for Rectus Sheath Closure

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Caesarean section is one of the most commonly performed abdominal operations on women in most countries of the world. Its rate has increased markedly in recent years, and is about 20-25% of all child-births in most developed countries.

The present study was a step to reduce postoperative pain in cesarean sections. Because of the large number of women that undergo caesarean section, even small differences in post-operative morbidity rates due to different techniques could translate into improved health and significant savings of cost and health services resources.

Closing the rectus sheath in cesarean sections with the knots pricking through the skin causes significant postoperative pain, discomfort and delayed ambulation. No comments in literature regarding the best way for closing the rectus sheath in cesarean sections.

AIM/ OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of burying knots beneath the rectus sheath during cesarean section in reducing post operative pain and discomfort.

Study hypothesis:

In women undergoing cesarean sections may or may not burying knots beneath the rectus sheath reduce the post operative pain and discomfort.

Clinical Trial Description

Non absorbable and delayed absorbable monofilament materials require meticulous care to prevent knot slippage.

One common problem that arises from use of these materials is the discomfort caused by the knot pricking through the skin. Although this is a common problem after cesarean section, it is often overlooked and only very few preventive techniques have been described.

This study is to assess the efficacy of burying knots beneath the rectus sheath during cesarean sections in reducing post operative pain and discomfort.

Type of Study : A randomized controlled clinical trial. Study Setting :this study will be conducted at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ain-Shams University Maternity hospital.

Study time: 2019. Study Population : The study population comprises pregnant women, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, attending to Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, during the study period, who are planned for cesarean delivery. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
