Uterine Closure for Cesarean Section: a Novel Technique

In here we want to describe a new technique to uterin closure at caesarean section which has been performed about 20 years by Bülent Yılmaz. The technique (we suggest the name of the technique as Yılmaz technique) provide less resuturing need when closing the uterus in cesarean section, bringing together better wound edges, providing more effective suture in thin uteruses, stopping active bleeding areas with the same suture, thus enabling to complete the surgery at low cost by using a single suture material in almost all cases. The aim of this study is to describe the technique and compare the blood loss of patients in caserean section between Yılmaz technique and single layer continue locked suturation .

The participants of the study were divided into two groups as uterine closure with Yilmaz technique (study group) and single layer continue locked suturation (control group). Maternal age, gestationale age, fetal weight, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels are recorded. Hemoglobin decrease was calculated by subtracting the postoperative hemoglobin value from the preoperative hemoglobin values of the pregnant women.The postoperative hemoglobine decrease of the groups are compared.
