Comparison of incidence rates of abdominal incision endometriosis caused by two different caesarian section techniques

Objective To find an effective way to decrease the rate of abdominal incision endometriosis by comparing the results of the new-style and lower-segment incision techniques for caesarean section.Methods The clinical data of women who had only one caesarian section and women with two different ways of abdominal incisions from September 1998 to September 2008 in our hospital were analyzed.All women were followed up for three years.The incidence rates of the endometriosis were compared.Results A total of 24 out of 3150 patients with lower-segment caesarean section had abdominal incision endometriosis within three years,while 56 out of 2942 patients with new-style caesarean section had endometriosis at the same period.The incidence rates showed statistically significant differences(P0.01).Conclusion In order to decrease the incidence rates of abdominal incision endometriosis,selection of lower-segment incision technique for caesarean section(longitudinal incision) is very effective.
