Effect on Post-Operative Pain of Suture Material used for Closure of Parietal Peritoneum in Caesarean Section
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Caesarean section is the commonest obstetric surgery and postoperative pain is one of the major discomfort which drives post caesarean mothers to seek help. The study was undertaken to study the effect of closure of parietal peritoneum by Chromic Catgut versus Polyglactin on postoperative pain. Material and Methods: It was a hospital based interventional study done in a tertiary care hospital over one year. Detailed history, investigations, operative details, postoperative outcome in terms of pain were noted. Unpaired t test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for statistical analysis. Result: Significantly less pain score was observed when Chromic Catgut was used. This difference was highly significant statistically at 16 hour (P=0.00005), 24hour (P=0.00001) and 40 hour (P=0.000104) postoperatively. Conclusion: Peritoneal closure with Chromic Catgut suture is a better technique than closure in terms of less postoperative pain and cost saving.
