1 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now we are going to close the uterine incision 2 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The uterine incision, the first thing would be to identify the angle 3 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because that's where the most risk of bleeding occurs 4 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so we should be sure that we have identified and start our sutering from the angle of the uterine incision 5 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and we are going to use usually vciril or chromic cat gut can also be use 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the stitch is going to be continuous 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 suturing, after we grasp, make sure we have got the angle we'll go by doing continuous suturing 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and sometimes if we are doing, if we are having heavy bleeding, we can use locking sutures 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but if we feel the bleeding is controlled we don't have to lock the sutures 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 while the surgeon is doing this continuous suturing, the assistant's role is a big role here 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 holding the uterus still, preferably by 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 using a pack 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and also holding the suture also 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 by following the surgeon and hold the suture tight 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and once we have done 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in this video, you'll see that the surgeon is going to close the uterine incision 17 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in one layer 18 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and now there are two schools of thoughts about the uterine closure 19 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 either it could be closed in one layer or two layers 20 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 some studies have shown that using one layer closure decreases operation time 21 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 with still the same kind of results 22 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 still some would argue that the risk of bleeding and risk of future infection 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and disheasance would increase with one layer 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 both ways are acceptable 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but usually in our practice, in our set up what we practice is using two layer approach 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so we are finish putting suture with one layer, then we are repeat the same procedure and close uterine incision in two layers 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and nowadays, we have abundant closing peritonium, even after the 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 this is because it heals by iteslf quickly 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and so by not closing it it decreases postoperative pain and so it is preferred to not close the xxx 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 once we are done with the closure of the uterine incision in two layers we have to make sure we don't have any bleeding 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 don't leave any bleaders 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if there are any bleeding we have to do hemostatic sutures 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in those areas where we see bleeding 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we have to make sure we are controlled 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 all the bleeding sites 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you can see now there are two bleeders 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that the surgeon is going to control using hemostatic sutures 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So once we are sure the bleeding has been controlled, we don't have any other procedure like tubal ligation 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we'll just return the uterus to the abdominal cavity
