 Neha Garg, Rajkeerthi N

Abstract

The rate of caesarean section (CS), an essential component of comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal care has been on a worldwide rise. The resultant uterine scar is defined as detectable myometrial thinning at that site and can be detected reliably by ultrasound imaging. Proper healing of the uterine scar after CS is of paramount importance to avoid various obstetrical complications in future pregnancies. Uterine scar defect is related to the method of uterine closure, which encompasses various methods. At present, there is no consensus on the method of uterine closure following caesarean delivery. Thus, an attempt to figure out a suitable method of uterine closure in our population has been made in this study. Objective: To compare 3 types of uterine closure techniques of caesarean section- Double layer with first layer locked including the decidua and Double layer with first layer unlocked excluding the decidua with the commonly used locked single layer closure including decidua
