title: Acute maternal morbidity following classical cesarean delivery of the preterm infant.
abstract: The acute maternal morbidity after primary classical and primary low transverse cesarean delivery was compared in preterm gestation. Among 178 patients (77 classical and 101 low transverse), there was no difference in acute maternal morbidity; blood transfusion was used twice as often with the classical operation, but this difference did not reach statistical significance.
