Intervention:
Comparison between cesarean section according to Stark and cesarean section according to conventional technique.
Results:
For each case, several parameters have been compared: extraction time, total time, number of suture threads, canalization time, blood loss and fetal Apgar.
Conclusions:
Cesarean section according to Stark is an evolution of the conventional surgical technique, which can be applied for particular indications such as maternal, fetal and anesthesiologic conditions.
