no need for peritonization i want the management of cervical ectopic pregnancy
Management options may be surgical or medical:
Systemic methotrexate is the initial treatment protocol. Resistant cases with persistent fetal cardiac-activity may be offered intraarterial or intrasac-methotrexate with intracardiac-potassium chloride.
Surgical interventions include cervical-circlage, intracervical-balloon-tamponade, vaginal packing after dilatation-curettage, ligation of the internal-iliac-artery and lastly hysterectomy.
FOR SOME YEARS WE HAVE ABANDONED PERITONIZATION AND THE INCIDENCE OF POST OP PAIN HAS NOT BEEN ANY MORE FREQUENT.SOME OF OUR CASES HAVE COME BACK FOR REPEAT SECTIONS. WE ARE YET TO IDENTIFY ANY INCREASE IN ADHESION RATES AMONG SUCH CASES
there is increased in adhesion rates among cases of repeated sections,in some cases of third or fourth scars we can not identify the lower uterine segment,and we do window operation to take the baby out
To restore the surgical anatomy and to reapproximate the tissues peritonization must be done.
It is much better to gently close the parietal peritoneum after CS and so restore the anatomical planes and keep the omentum where it ought to be - inside the peritoneal cavity. Since peritonization was abandoned I have come across many problems not encountered when it was routine - loss of the anatomical planes with omentum everywhere making entry into the peritoneal cavity extremely difficult and time consuming, and even incisional hernia.
Association between peritoneal closure at primary cesarean section and significant adhesions at second cesarean section
J Surg Pak Jun 2007;12(2):56-9.
Objective: To evaluate impact of peritonization at primary cesarean section in terms of abdominopelvic adhesions at second cesarean section. Study design: A randomized trial. Patients & Methods: Women undergoing first cesarean delivery were randomized to either closure of both the visceral and parietal peritoneum (Group A, n =150) or non closure (Group B, n=150). At second cesarean, the variety and frequency of adhesions were examined. Results: The incidence of adhesions in the closure group was significantly higher than in the non closure group (p<0.05 ). The mean total operating time and the mean interval from skin incision to delivery in the closure group was significantly longer than in the non closure group ( P <0.05, P<0.05 respectively) at second cesarean section. Conclusions: Peritoneal closure in cesarean delivery is associated with significant adhesion formation. The practice of non-closure of peritoneum is therefore recommended.
