Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparative Study of Postoperative Pain between Maylard Incision and Pfannenstiel Incision in Gynecologic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Postoperative pain has many adverse effects for the patients with laparotomy operation. There are few studies that compare between Maylard and Pfannenstiel incision in term of pain and wound complication after operation. ⋯ Postoperative pain up to 48 hours in both Maylard and Pfannenstiel group showed similar VAS but after 48 hours; the Maylard group showed less pain. Even though the surgical wound length in Maylard group was longer than Pfannenstiel group, numbers of cases with VAS >4 within 24 hours in Maylard were less than in Pfannenstiel group. Postoperative pain up to 48 hours in both Maylard and Pfannenstiel group showed similar VAS but after 48 hours; the Maylard group showed less pain. Even though the surgical wound length in Maylard group was longer than Pfannenstiel group, numbers of cases with VAS >4 within 24 hours in Maylard were less than in Pfannenstiel group.
