Objective: Comparison of extra-peritoneal cesarean (EPC) and intra-peritoneal cesarean (IPC) section in terms of postoperative pain, pulmonary function, fever, gastrointestinal function, and other maternal and fetal morbidities. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients were included in this prospective study. All patients' demographic data such as blood count, gestational week, height, weight, body mass index, and age were recorded in the preoperative period. Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at second 1, and peak expiratory flow values were measured before and 24 hours after the operation. Pain was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS). Time from the beginning of the operation to the delivery, total operation time, birth weight, and Apgar scores were also recorded. Changes in pulmonary function tests, VAS, time to hear bowel sounds, gas and stool discharge times, leukocyte increase rate, fever, and C-reactive protein values were compared between the groups. Results: Lower abdominal and incision pain were less in the EPC group (p < 0.05). Inflammatory response was lower and bowel sound were heard earlier in the EPC group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: EPC section seems to be advantageous in terms of postoperative pain, pulmonary function, intestinal function, and febrile morbidity. Further studies with larger populations are needed in order to recommend this technique routinely.
