to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous irrigation on wound complications

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Cesarean section is the most common abdominal operation performed worldwide. As with every other surgical procedure, it is sometimes accompanied by surgical complications. Wound complications are encountered in approximately 5% of women that undergo CS and include haematomas, seromas and infection. To evaluate the effects and benefits of subcutaneous irrigation during cesarean section we decide to conduct this randomized study.
