Abstract

Introductıon: Cesarean section it is the most frequently applied surgical application. Every surgical procedure creates an inflammation. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which can be easily obtained from complete blood count, is used as subclinical systemic inflammatory markers. In this study, our aim is to understand the effect of the duration of the cesarean section on subclinical inflammation by looking at the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and the effect of this period on blood loss and postoperative recovery
Methods: We included a total of 188 operations between the ages of 18-45 in our study and created 2 groups according to the duration of the cesarean section. When grouped as short (0-39 min) and long (≥40 min) according to the operation time, NOL change was higher in the group with longer operation duration, but no significant difference was found in both groups. Similarly, although the decrease in hemoglobin was higher in the group with a long operation time, no significant difference was found. No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of wound healing on the postoperative 10th day. When we look at our other parameters, we found a significant relationship between those whose cesarean section ended within 40 minutes and those who had their first cesarean section.
Results: As a result of our study, we could not detect a significant difference in the duration of the cesarean section operations performed in our clinic on the postoperative parameters.
Conclusion: Although supportive studies are needed, it shows that the surgical rules of cesarean section operate correctly under optimal conditions.
