Official title

Rectus Muscle Closure vs. Non-Closure at Primary Cesarean Delivery and Post-Operative Pain

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Suture reapproximation of the rectus muscles at primary cesarean delivery is a common practice about which there are no data. Some Obstetricians believe that suture reapproximation of the rectus muscles increases post-operative pain, and it may decrease adhesions, yet there are no published data to support or refute these claims. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of rectus muscle reapproximation at cesarean delivery and post-operative pain. We also plan to assess the impact of rectus muscle closure on adhesions as seen at repeat cesarean delivery.
