A review of Caesarean section techniques and postoperative thromboprophylaxis at a tertiary hospital

摘要

INTRODUCTIONAlthough Caesarean sections (CSs) are among the most commonly undertaken procedures in the world, there are wide variations in the surgical techniques used. This study aimed to: (a) review the surgical techniques used for CS by obstetricians working in a tertiary hospital in Singapore; (b) compare the techniques with those recommended in evidence-based guidelines; and (c) examine the relationship between the technique used and the level of seniority of the surgeons.
