Treatment options include peripheral nerve blocks or ...

BACKGROUND Modifications to the classic cesarean section technique described by Pfannenstiel and Kerr have been proposed in the last few years. The objective of this trial was to compare intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes between the Pfannenstiel-Kerr and the modified Misgav-Ladach (MML) techniques for cesarean section. METHODS This prospective randomized trial involved 162 ...

METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in women having a BMI greater than 40 kg/m² who underwent a cesarean delivery of a live, singleton pregnancy from 2007 to 2011 at a...

We report a rare case of a 46-year-old woman 2 weeks after a cesarean section with Pfannenstiel incision, who presented at the Emergency Department with a significant abdominal pain accompanied by two episodes of vomiting. After that a clinical examination and an abdominal computed tomography scan were completed, a visceral herniation through Pfannenstiel incision was suspected. The indication ...

results the duration of surgery and fetus delivery was significantly lower in ml than pk technique (p = 0.000). analgesic use during the post-operative period was significantly lower in ml than pk (p < 0.001). there were no significant statistical differences between the groups in regards to drop of the hematocrit (p = 0.32), fever (p = 0.056) and bowel transit time (p = 1.000). the mean apgar ...
