Modified Misgav Ladach Method versus Pfannenstiel Kerr Method in Women with Previous Cesarean Section: a Randomized Controlled Trial

is 15%, ranging from 3.5% in Africa to 29.2% in Latin America and the Caribbean [2]. There is no universal surgical technique for cesarean section. The wide variation in surgical techniques in practice can be attributed to many factors namely the clinical situation and the preference of the surgeon [3]. Various abdominal incisions have been applied for cesarean delivery [3]. They include transverse incision (Pfannenstiel, Maylard, Cherney and Joel-Cohen) and vertical incision (midline and para median) [3]. All-over the world, the transverse suprapubic skin incision is the most common technique performed for cesarean section followed by Pfannenstiel incision and Joel-Cohen abdominal incision. Pfannenstiel authenticated the Pfannenstiel incision in 1900; it is a horizontal skin incision about 2 cm above pubic symphysis [4].
