Objectives And Study Design:
The analysis of the influence of the closure or nonclosure of the visceral peritoneum during cesarean sections on the course of puerperium and late consequences.
Materials And Methods:
There were 577 patients at whom cesarean section was performed. They were divided into two groups: in the first group (270 patients) during the cesarean sections visceral peritoneum was closed whereas, in the second group (307 patients) visceral peritoneum was not closed. Postoperative course and conditions of the organs in situ at the time of the following operations was considered.
Results:
There were no differences in regard to postoperative course between two groups. In the group where visceral peritoneum was closed adhesions and upward dislocation of the bladder was observed whereas in the group where visceral peritoneum was not closed these abnormalities were not observed.
Conclusions:
1. Nonclosure of the visceral peritoneum during cesarean sections is safe procedure. 2. Nonclosure of the visceral peritoneum during cesarean sections reduced frequency of the postoperative adhesions. 3. Nonclosure of the visceral peritoneum prevent upward dislocation of the urinary bladder.
