Clinical Trial Summary

approximation of both recti during lower segment cesarean section may be an important step to lower incidence of intraabdominal adhesions . peritoneal adhesions are of major medical importance and are associated with clinical problems such as chronic pain and infertility.

Description:

all patients included in the study should be had the operative history of the previous cesarean section and were done in the cairo university and divid them into 2 groups. 1st group were both recti approximated while the second group were closed without approximating both recti. all patients will be subjected to lower segment cesarean segment to assess the intraperitoneal adhesions, mean operative time, mean hospital stay, postoperative distension, bowel sounds, postoperative infections and morbidity
