ABSTRACT
This study examines how the study of the impact of peritoneal closure with no closure
at caesarean section on the risk of adhesions. Systematic Literature Review Research is
is the selected methods by researchers in this study. Researchers will describe facts, data
and information obtained from literature studies such as books, journals to research
results related to the research topic. In this study, it is known that the incidence of births
worldwide by Caesarean section (CS) is increasing. Many births after CS have
previously been performed by repeat surgery, either with elective CS or after an
unsuccessful delivery attempt. The formation of these adhesions is associated with
increased maternal morbidity in patients with recurrent CS. In studies, non-closure of
the peritoneum appears to save time and costs and therefore lacks the adhesions that
cause infertility. However, not closing the parietal peritoneum will cause adhesions
without causing infertility. These adhesions can cause long operating times, recovery,
and increased postoperative pain in the second ceasarean section.

dengan tanpa penutupan pada operasi Caesar terhadap resiko adhesi. Penelitian
Sistematic Literature Review adalah penelitian yang digunakan peneliti pada penelitian
ini. Peneliti akan melakukan pendeskrisian fakta, data dan informasi yang diperoleh dari
kajian kepustakaan seperti buku, jurnal hingga hasil penelitian yang berhubungan denga
topik penelitian. Pada penelitian ini diketahui bahwasannya Insiden kelahiran di seluruh
dunia melalui Operasi Caesar (CS) meningkat. Banyak kelahiran setelah CS
sebelumnya dilakukan dengan operasi berulang, baik dengan CS elektif atau setelah
percobaan persalinan yang gagal. Pembentukan adhesi ini banyak dikaitkan dengan
peningkatan morbiditas ibu pada pasien dengan CS berulang. Dalam kajian, tanpa
penutupan peritoneum tampaknya menghemat waktu dan biaya sehingga tidak memiliki
adhesi yang menyebabkan infertilitas. Namun tidak tertutupnya peritoneum parietal
akan menyebabkan perlengketan tetapi tidak akan mempengaruhi kesuburan tetapi
perlengketan tersebut dapat menyebabkan waktu operasi yang lama, pemulihan,
peningkatan rasa sakit pasca operasi pada operasi caesar kedua.

INTRODUCTION
The well-being of babies and mothers is the cornerstone of midwifery.
Childbirth was accomplished by vaginal birth for many years. With the increasing use
of antibiotics and the number of operations, infant and maternal mortality and morbidity
become important after vaginal delivery (Bjørnstad & Ræder, 2020). Surgeons prefer
caesarean section (CS) over vaginal delivery to reduce fetal and maternal mortality.
Currently, the increasing number of unnecessary caesarean section is a big problem in
the global world. Many countries are trying to use different procedures to increase
vaginal births. All policies, to encourage patients and doctors to vaginal delivery are not
enough to reduce the number of unnecessary caesarean section in the world (Poole,
2013).
In general, an incision in the abdomen that opens the abdominal cavity is called
a laparotomy. The incisions commonly used in abdominal exploration are vertical
incisions, transverse incisions and oblique/transverse incisions. Vertical incisions
include midline and para-median incisions. Nearly all abdominal and retroperitoneal
surgical interventions can be performed with a midline incision. Generally, the term
laparotomy is called a midline incision (Mahdi et al., 2019). The peritoneum is the
innermost layer of the abdominal wall, which once opened the abdominal cavity
becomes available. After abdominal surgery, some surgeons suture this lining and
believe that this action can strengthen the wound and abdominal wall, but on the other
hand some surgeons close the abdominal cavity without suturing this lining and believe
that closing this layer can extend the time and cost of surgery and even postoperative
pain for patients (Tofigh & Jafarzadeh, 2021).
On the other hand, the reasons other surgeons will not suture this lining are its
rapid healing within 48 to 72 hours without sutures and reduced operative time,
analgesic requirement, wound infection and length of stay. peritoneal closure persists,
even exceeding the technique that should be done (Roofthooft et al., 2021). Based on
previous studies, there appears to be agreement regarding peritoneal closure in obstetric
operations such as hysterectomy and caesarean section, but the disagreement seems to
continue in other fields of surgery (Bhaumik, 2016). Thus, despite the disagreements
that exist, the aim of this systematic literature review was to compare the impact of
peritoneal closure versus non-closure on the risk of adhesions in cesarean section.
METHOD
The literature review in this study was carried out through a systematic selection
that was traced from international databases. The author searches data sources from
various databases, including using PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//), and
Google Scholar. The literature search technique uses keywords that match the questions
from the research. The list of keywords that will be used as the basis for the literature
search are Peritoneal, Caesarean and Adhesion. Search articles using English and the
year of publication is limited to the last 10 years (2013-2023).
Chart 1. illustrates the process of selecting articles using the guidelines from
Preferred Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). An initial
search found that the number of articles from 2013-2023 was 276 articles. Next, the
articles are screened. A total of 7 articles were entered into the next stage. The quality of
the articles was reviewed so that as many as 7 articles were synthesized in the final
review report from the literature.

Peritoneal closure is useful in
routine cesarean sections.

adhesion formation is limited
and inconsistent. There is

evidence of long-term pain,
adhesion formation, and
infertility is needed
Adhesions are one of the most important postoperative complications seen after
laparotomy. Development of adhesions after a CS procedure will increase the time of
subsequent CS operations; increased incidence of unintentional trauma to the bowel,
bladder, and ureters; and increased bleeding complications as well. It has been
previously reported that between 6 and 8% of women who undergo cesarean section are
readmitted to the operating room for the management of complications of adhesions that
develop after a previous CS. So, adhesions can be considered as one of the important
causative factors in secondary female infertility (Sholapurkar, 2018).
Controversy still exists regarding the formation of adhesions after closure of the
peritoneum or leaving it open in previous CS. Both opinions have reasonable
justification. Opinions in favor of nonclosure report that peritoneal healing occurs by
simultaneous multisite healing as a result of migration of mesothelial cells with
mesothelial matrix formation without the need for peritoneal repositioning. They also
added that peritoneal closure will cause foreign body reaction to the suture material,
ischemia, and tissue necrosis, impairing natural healing besides increasing the incidence
of adhesion formation (Bjørnstad & Ræder, 2020).
