Dr. Namita Agarwal, Dr. Brijesh Kumar Agarwal

Abstract :

To study the effect of nonclosure of peritoneum at Caesarean Section as compared to peritonization. A prospective randomized controlled trial on women undergoing Caesarean Section was done. They were randomized into nonclosure and closure groups. Various details were noted in the proforma during the intraoperative and postoperative period. Chisquare test was used to compare outcome in two groups. Operating time, pain, time of oral intake, time of ambulation & hospital stay were significantly shorter in nonclosure group (p<0.0001). There was lesser feile morbidity and wound infection in the non closure group but it was not statistically significant. This study gives us sufficient confidence for non peritonization at Caesarean Section. Our study is comparable to other studies done in this regard.
