The optimal analgesic method in saline infusion sonogram: A comparison of two effective techniques with placebo.

Objective: Operations performed with local anesthesia can sometimes be extremely painful and uncomfortable for patients. Our aim was to investigate the optimal analgesic method in saline infusion sonograms.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed in our Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology between March and August 2011.

Purse-string double-layer closure: a novel technique for repairing the uterine incision during cesarean section.

Aim: To compare the classical double-layer uterine closure to a double-layer purse-string uterine closure (Turan technique) in cesarean section regarding short- and long-term results.

Methods: Patients were randomized into either the double-layer purse-string uterine closure arm (study group, 84 patients) or the classical double-layer uterine closure arm (control group, 84 patients). For short-term comparison, a detailed transvaginal ultrasound examination was planned in all patients 6 weeks after the operation and a wedge-shaped defect in the uterine incision scar was accepted as uterine scar defect and recorded.
