A New Technique for Uterine Incision Closure at The Time of Cesarean Section: Does it Make a Difference

the incision is closed using Vicryl 1-0 stitch starting from one corner. The first layer is transversely passed through the inner myometrium-decidua line, and second layer is transversely passed through outer myometrium-visceral line continuously by alternating continuous stitches through the upper (step up) and the lower (step down) uterine flaps. The original string is returned to the starting point and tied with knot as in Turan technique. Following the double layered step up-step down closure, additional single sutures were added for hemostasis if required
