Sonographic examination of puerperal uterus after repeat cesarean section with traditional and Misgav Ladach methods

Abstract

Purpose:  In our Department of Obstetrics, where 1600 deliveries are carried out on average every year, cesarean section (c.s.) with Misgav Ladach methods has been practiced since November 1995, for 2078 cases in all. In our study, we have examined sonographically 309 repeat c.s. with Misgav Ladach methods compared to 318 traditional repeat c.s. The aim of our investigation is the sonographic examination of patients with open peritoneum and those with closed peritoneum to discriminate the frequency of bladder flap hematomas and other complications in the two techniques.
