Sutures India, manufacturer and exporter of surgical sutures in India recently held a CME programme for the obstetric and gynaecological fraternity at Bengaluru. The talk was addressed by Dr Michael Stark, President of Berlin-based New European Surgical Academy.
He spoke about evidence-based cesarean section and ten-step vaginal hysterectomy – A modified operative technique for vaginal hysterectomy. High point of his talk centred around benefits of modified Misgav-Ladach technique and comparison of the modified Misgav-Ladach technique with the traditional cesarean technique. The audience debated over Dr Starks’ remarks on non-closure of the rectus muscle and subcutaneous fascia during cesarean and skin repair with three large sutures. The audience also debated on uterus repair in single layer vs double layer. Dr Stark also introduced his anti-cesarean section campaign.
“Our aim is to make caesarean section safer and easier for the mothers. We could not imagine that this method would become one the reasons for over-usage of caesarean section. We strongly believe that caesarean section should have a valid indication,” said Dr Stark. The event was attended by 150 doctors from Bengaluru.
