title: Cesarean section using the Misgav Ladach method.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To stress the advantages of the Misgav Ladach method for cesarean section.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study operative details and the postoperative course of 139 patients who underwent cesarean section according to the Misgav Ladach method in 1995-96 are presented.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The Misgav Ladach method reduces operation time, time of child delivery, and time of recovery. The rates of febrile morbidity, wound infection and wound dehiscence are not affected by the new technique.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our study highlights the efficiency and safety of the Misgav Ladach method, and points out the speeded recovery, with early ambulation and resumption of drinking and eating, that makes the cesarean section delivery closer and closer to natural childbirth.
