Summary

This trial tests whether rinsing the inside of the abdomen with warm saline before closing the incision during a planned cesarean section can lower the chance of post-surgery infections and help the bowel start working again sooner. About 150 women having an elective C-section will be randomly assigned to receive the saline rinse or standard care. The study tracks infections, fever, wound healing, and how quickly the first bowel movement occurs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
intraperitoneal saline irrigation
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple, low-cost step during cesarean sections could lower the risk of post-surgery infections and help the bowel return to normal faster.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center trial, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. The procedure itself is safe, but it may not provide a clear benefit over standard care.
