Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the Joel-Cohen method for cesarean section to the traditional transrectal incision.

Method: Fifty-two patients requiring a caesarean section were enrolled in this prospective study. Overall morbidity and post-operative pain was assessed. Four surgeons participated to this study, each included 13 patients. The main judgement criterion was post-operative pain on the first day.

Results: Post-operative pain on the first day was less important (50 vs 23% p=0.04) in Joel-Cohen's. This method was shorter compared to the transrectal incision (33.6+6.4 min vs 51.2+8 min p<0.0001). There was no difference in overall morbidity between the two groups.

Conclusion: Joel-Cohen's method decrease post-operative pain and is a shorter procedure compared to the transrectal incision.
