This is an update to Dr. Saliu Rafiu's original article, Does Extra Peritoneal LSCS have any Advantage over Conventional LSCS?
INTRODUCTION
After the initial article regarding Extraperitoneal LSCS in mdCurrent-India, Dr. Saliu Rafiu has been promoting it in Nigeria and him and his team have gained more insights that they would like to share.
They have experience with repeat LSCS after initial LSCS that they carried out Extraperitoneal. After initial experience they now have a longer blue colored Prolene in the outer layer of Uterus as marker. They use this suture to pull and cut the Uterus at the correct place during repeat caesarian section.
They have defined the peritoneal reflection on the Uterus as the safety arc and open the Uterus just below it to avoid injuries.
Currently they advocate Extraperitoneal LSCS for all women who need LSCS.
