Cesarean Section - Obesity |
| Purpose: |
|
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of the Mobius™ retractor to the use
of traditional metal retraction instruments in non-urgent cesarean deliveries of obese
women. The Mobius™ retractor was designed for abdominal surgery to improve visualization of
the surgical field through standard surgical incisions and is now a standard instrument used
for cesarean deliveries at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. We hypothesize that the use
of the Mobius™ retractor during cesarean deliveries in obese women decreases operative time,
blood loss, number of transfusions, infectious morbidity, incision length, and intra- /
post-operative antiemetic and pain medication use, while increasing surgeon satisfaction.
|
| Study summary: |
|
The Mobius™ retractor has been used in many obese cesarean deliveries based on the theory
that it provides superior visualization. There have been no clinical trials to determine if
this “added” exposure offers any measurable significant benefits to justify the added cost.
This study will determine if the Mobius™ retractor does provide a measurable difference in
outcomes, compared to the traditional retraction instruments. |
