Misgav-Ladach method

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Misgav-Ladach method is a caesarean section technique that is considered gentler than conventional techniques. The method is named after the Misgav Ladach Hospital in Jerusalem / Israel , where it was developed in 1994. First, a transverse abdominal incision is made at the pubic hairline. In contrast to other methods, the opening of the other abdominal layers is then carried out as bluntly as possible by tearing and stretching and not by cutting with scissors or scalpel . After the delivery of the child, the abdominal layers are closed in a simplified way: the incision of the uterus is sewn in a single row, then the abdominal fascia and the skin are sewn. The peritoneum and abdominal muscles are not closed.

The advantage of this technique lies in the shortening of the operation time and a reduction of the suture material. Furthermore, the postoperative course is considered to be less complicated and the length of stay can be reduced.
