Hemorrhage during pregnancy is a major cause of severe maternal morbidity and mortality in high as well as in low resource settings. In particular during Cesarean section (CS), intraoperative and post-operative bleeding may become lifethreatening emergency. Consequently, any strategy to reduce severe blood loss deserves consideration and eventual implementation. We would like to call attention upon the controversy over closure or non-closure of the parietal peritoneum during the CS surgical procedure, an issue currently being debated among obstetricians.

Abstract

Hemorrhage during pregnancy is a major cause of severe maternal morbidity and mortality in high as well as in low resource settings. In particular during Cesarean section (CS), intraoperative and post-operative bleeding may become lifethreatening emergency. Consequently, any strategy to reduce severe blood loss deserves consideration and eventual implementation. We would like to call attention upon the controversy over closure or non-closure of the parietal peritoneum during the CS surgical procedure, an issue currently being debated among obstetricians.
