Brief Summary

In the last decades cesarean section rates are getting higher in many countries. The rise in those rates encourages obstetricians to improve operative techniques for a better maternal and fetal outcome. Despite its worldwide spread, a general consensus on the most appropriate technique to use has not yet been reached. The most known surgical technique is the MLC . A modified extraperitoneal method of caesarean section :" French Ambulatory Cesarean Section ( FAUCS) was described in the middle of the 90's by "Denis Fauck" and "Jacques Henri Ravina " However, no study comparing these two cesarean techniques was conducted. From where the investigators initiate this study .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • changes in post operative pain

    changes in postoperative analgesic requirements, changes in self reported pain using the Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS Pain) intensity ( The pain VAS is a single-item scale.For pain intensity, the scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100 \[100-mm scale\] )

    6 hours ; 12 hours , 18 hours , 24 hours

  • delay to hospital discharge

    report of total days spent in hospital after surgery

    up to 72 hours

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • blood loss

    the day before surgery and the day after surgery (24 hours)

  • operation time

    during the surgery

  • rate of short term incidents

    during the surgery and 24 hours after surgery

  • patient autonomy questionnaire

    up to 48 hours after surgery

  • newborn overall condition

    5 minutes from birth

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
