Study Population

Women undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the department of gynecology & obstetrics , Sohag University hospital with the following criteria :

Women scheduled for elective laparoscopy. Women with history of previous laparotomies. Women with previous transverse suprapubic and/or any midline incision. Women with previous caesarean section.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women scheduled for elective laparoscopy.
  • Women with history of previous laparotomies.
  • Women with previous transverse suprapubic and/or any midline incision.
  • Women with previous caesarean section.

Exclusion Criteria:
