Abstract |
Background |
With the aim of preventing cesarean scar defects, we introduced a new technique involving a purse string uterine suture. To date, this uterine suture technique has not been formally evaluated. The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that compared to single layer continuous uterine suture (SLCUS), a double layered purse string uterine suture (PSUS) significantly reduces cesarean scar defect (CSD) rates, without increasing the perioperative maternal morbidity.
Methods |
A prospective randomized study. Primary outcome was the rate of CSD. 100 patients were enrolled in 2 groups according to the uterine suture technique. A hysterosonography was performed by the same senior obstetrician blinded to the uterine suture technique 6 months after surgery .Operative time and calculated blood loss (CBL) were used for the short time analysis. Uterine and CSD measurements were used for the mid time analysis.
Results |
Despite a longer operative time with PSUS (7.17 ± 2.31 min Vs. 6.31 ± 3.04 min, p = 0.028; p <10‾³); there was no significant difference in terms of CBL (520 ± 58 with PSUS vs. 536 ± 50 ml, p = 0.724). There was a significant decrease in the rate of CSD with PSUS: 6.66% Vs.40% with SLUCS; p<0.001. Moreover, SLUCS was the leading risk factor for CSD: adjusted OR=6; 95% CI [0–1], p<10‾³).
Conclusion |
Compared to single layer continuous suture, double layered purse stringuterine suture significantly reduces cesarean scar defect rates, without increasing the perioperative maternal morbidity.
