Prospective study of non‐closure or closure of the peritoneum at cesarean delivery in 124 women: Impact of prior peritoneal closure at primary cesarean on the interval time between first cesarean section and the next pregnancy and significant adhesion at second cesarean

Abstract

Non-closure of the peritoneum at cesarean delivery appears to have no adverse effect on postoperative recovery, it also decreases the number of analgesic doses and shortens the operating time and may be more desirable in achieving a next pregnancy. The present study demonstrated that surgical peritoneal closure resulted in more advanced adhesion formation. The practice of non-closure of the peritoneum should be performed at cesarean.
