Conditions

Cesarean section surgery. Delivery by caesarean section, unspecified

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this group, after the closure of the uterine myometrium incision, PRP will be directly applied to the uterine myometrium tissue whereas the control group receiv
(the recommended temperature during processing is 21?–24? to prevent platelet activation during centrifugation of the blood)
2. The blood will be centrifuged at 1,200 rpm for 12 minutes
3. The blood separates into three layers: an upper layer that contains platelets and white blood cells, an intermediate thin layer (the buffy coat) that is rich in white blood cells, and a bottom laye
4. The upper and intermediate buffy layers will be transferred to an empty sterile tube. The plasma will be centrifuged again at 3,300 rpm for 7 minutes to help with the formation of soft pellets (ery
5. The upper two-thirds of the plasma will be discarded because it is platelet-poor plasma.6. Pellets are homogenized in the lower third (5 mL) of the plasma to create the PRP
the PRP will be ready for injection. Approximately 30 mL of venous blood yields 3–5 mL of PRP.7. The prepared PRP solution will be transferred within sterile syringe from the laboratory to the OR 8. T

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Uterine closure time. Timepoint: During the surgery. Method of measurement: Chronometer.;Primary postpartum hemorrhage. Timepoint: During and the day after surgery. Method of measurement: Complete Blood Count(CBC).;Pain. Timepoint: The day, week and month after surgery. Method of measurement: VAS scale.;Infection rate. Timepoint: The day, week and month after surgery. Method of measurement: Thermometer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Residual myometrial thickness. Timepoint: 3 months after the surgery. Method of measurement: Ultrasound examination will be performed 3 months after the operation to assess the integrity of scar by measuring the residual myometrial thickness and the depth of the possible scar defect.;The depth of cesarean section scar defect(thickness). Timepoint: 3 months after the surgery. Method of measurement: Ultrasound examination will be performed 3 months after the operation to assess the integrity of scar by measuring the residual myometrial thickness and the depth of the possible scar defect.
