title: [Modifications to the technic of cesarean section after Stark].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  As the operating births (caesarean section) increase, many surgical equipes have been compelled to revise operating techniques in order to reduce fetus extraction times and the whole expense of operation without renouncing, at the same time to beauty advantages. With Stark technique, that we have modified, we have obtained all these aims, improving at the same time patients' postoperative course as well succeeding to extract the fetus in about five minutes. In the '70 Cohen explained the utility of a transiliac incision allowing the access to abdominal cavity with rectus muscles unsticking in an area in which these muscles should present a less adhesiveness.
  
  
  METHODS
  Since 1988 Stark has used Cohen's technique changing however uterus closing times, peritoneal membranes and abdominal walls. Our technique is different since we performed the incision according to Pfannestiel.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The times are considerably reduced to 4.8 minutes for fetus extraction and in postoperative time the complications are drastically reduced too (infection, pain, hematoma, adhesions).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Therefore we can surely say that this kind of technique can be used with success in all gynaecological surgery, in extrauterine pregnancies and adnexial tumefactions (not malignant). Personal opinion is that spinal anesthesia is the best analgesic technique.
