Abstract:
A new method of closure of the uterus at Caesarean section is described. The technique which comprised suturing the uterine incision in a single layer was employed in 100 patients, in all of whom there was also a valid indication for sterilization. Apart from being simple, safe and effective the main advantage of the technique appeared to be saving operating time. A noteworthy feature was that the incidence of postoperative complications was no higher compared with the standard 3-layer suture of the uterus.
