Summary

This study was performed to compare both methods of skin incisions to determine differences in postoperative pain, hemodynamic changes, incisional time, blood loss during incision, wound healing, and wound complication.

Detailed description

Our study aims to compare the use of diathermy versus scalpel in making skin incision during cesarean section to judge the variations in 1. incision time, 2. incision blood loss, 3. hemodynamic changes, 4. postoperative pain, 5. wound healing 6. wound complications.

Conditions

• Benifits of Using Diathermy in Skin Incision
