[Results of the Misgav Ladach caesarean section]

At the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Allgemeines Krankenhaus Celle, 224 caesarean sections according to the Misgav Ladach technique were performed from 01. 05. 1998 to 30. 04. 1999. Anamnestic findings, intraoperative conditions, and postoperative course were compared to 125 conventionel caesarean deliveries. The Misgav Ladach technique resulted in notably shorter operative time, fewer complications of wound healing and reduced hospital stay. No further significant differences were observed in both groups. - The question of postoperative adhesions still remains to be answered. According to our experience the Misgav Ladach operation shows some advantages as compared to the usual method.
