Abstract:
The objective of this study was to identify the indications for 'T' vertical extension in low transverse caesarean births, to determine complications during puerperium, blood loss, length of hospital stay and condition of newborn evaluated with Apgar score. 61 cases of extension were compared with 61 randomly selected women match for the date of delivery. Mann-Whitney Test and gamma 2-Test were used to compare both groups. The study showed the most common indications were difficulties in fetal extraction. Type of anaesthesia used during operation, blood loss and complications during puerperium didn't differ between both groups. 'T' extensions are safe and are not associated with prolonged hospital stays compared with controls. The condition of newborn evaluated with Apgar score is good in this group.
