Abstract
Background: Cesarean section (CS) rates have increased; this is especially concerning in developing countries. The mode of placental delivery contributes to morbidity associated with CS, and determines blood loss during CS. Objective: The aim of the work was to compare spontaneous placental delivery with cord traction and manual removal of placenta as regards amount of blood loss during elective cesarean section. Patients and Methods: This prospective Cohort study included a total of 48 Women prepared for elective cesarean section, attending at Zagazig University Hospitals and Zagazig General Hospital. This study was conducted between April 2019 to October 2019. The included subjects were divided into two groups (24 each) regarding methods of placental delivery. Group A; placenta was allowed to be separated spontaneously and removed by gentle cord traction. Group B; placenta was removed manually by the surgeon’s hand introduced into the uterine cavity and cleavage plane was created between the placenta and decidua basalis following which the placenta was grasped and removed. With the use of oxytocin by intravenous infusion 20 units after delivery of the baby in both groups. Results: Blood loss in spontaneous placental separation group was (881.67 ± 74.54) ml, but in manual placental separation group was (962.79 ± 116.11) ml, (p < 0.01).The preoperative hemoglobin (g/dl) in spontaneous separation group was (11.3 ± 1.07) and in manual separation group was (11.63 ± 1.11), postoperative hemoglobin in spontaneous separation group was (10.3 ± 0.83) and in manual separation group was (9.42 ± 0.74). Conclusion: Manual removal of placenta only seems to be superior in saving the time taken to extract out placenta. Manual removal of placenta adds to the post-operative complications in form of greater blood loss and infections.
