Detailed Description
Objective:
Cesarean section is one of the most common major abdominal operation in women worldwide and its rate is increasing every year. Although cesarean birth is considered as safe, it is a potentially morbid procedure with associated risks of hemorrhage, thromboembolic events, infection, and anesthesia risks. The incidence of postpartum infection has been estimated to be 1-4% after vaginal delivery and 10-20% after cesarean section. Manual removal of the placenta is widely accepted by surgeons worldwide. This method enables the surgeon quick intervention. Beside, it helps uterine cavity to be examined for damage and the presence of placental remnants. However, manual removal of the placenta is still a conflicting issue due to the risk of post-partum endometritis, post-partum hemorrhage and abnormal placentation in subsequent pregnancies. It is assumed that controlled cord traction reduces the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and infection.
The aim of this study is to examine whether there is an association between the method of removal of the placenta and increase in postpartum white blood cell counts
After informed consent, all patients are randomized according to the removal of placenta from the uterus after childbirth; manually (Group 1) or controlled cord traction without putting hands inside the uterus (Group 2). Patients are examined regarding to maternal infection. BMI measurement, obstetrics and medical history are recorded. The operative procedures are similar in all patients and followed the same technical steps. In both groups, oxytocin and a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic are administered intravenously after the delivery of the infant. All uterine incisions were low transverse and all were closed without exteriorisation of the uterus. Complete blood count before delivery, on pastpartum day 1 and 2, fever during hospitalisation, average blood loss during operation and the endometritis cases are recorded. All the patients are asked to come to control on postpartum day 10. Also, patients are asked to come to control if they have fever, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, general feeling of sickness and pain in the pelvis. Fever is defined as a temperature above 38.5°C on two consecutive days, excluding the first 24 hours.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: control group
In group 1, plasenta is removed manually.
Manual removal of the placenta will be performed by placing surgeon's dominant hand in the uterine cavity and removing the placenta by detaching it from the uterine wall as soon as possible after the delivery of the infant.
The emptiness of the uterine cavity is verified manually.
|
|
Experimental: Study Group
In group 2, plasenta is removed by controlled cord traction.
Spontaneous removal will be performed by external uterine massage and traction on the umbilical cord are performed to assist spontaneous delivery of the placenta.
|
In group 2, Spontaneous removal will be performed by massaging on the uterine fundus and applying gentle traction on the umbilical cord.
