[Towards simplified cesarean section?].
In the past few years, many international publications have reported important improvements in the cesarean section procedure. Considering these improvements, M STARK suggests a new technique for the cesarean section which is called <<Migav-Ladach method>> (=ML). To assess feasibility and efficiency of this technique the authors conducted a prospective randomised study for 4 months including all cesarean sections and compared the ML technique with the classical Pfannenstiel are. The following criteria were noted for each woman. Results showed the superiority of the M.L. technique especially with regard to the length of duration of the post-operative fever and the parietal blood collection, where difference is significant. Regarding the blood loss rate, the post-operation pain, the delay before gas and the duration of the hospitalisation period the M.L. technique seems to be better although the difference is not very significant statistically. Following this study and the international literature survey, authors conclude that the M. L technique is so much better than the pfannenstiel technique that it must be used throughout daily obstetrical practice.
