The merits of extraperitoneal cesarean section: a continuing experience.
The continuing experience with extraperitoneal cesarean section at this institution is reviewed. The first 50 cases performed are reviewed and compared with equal numbers from two control groups as previously presented. A persistent advantage in the use of the procedure is demonstrated. Earlier optimism about the use of the procedure in selected patients is vindicated.
