Maternal outcomes of cesarean sections: do generalists' patients have different outcomes than specialists' patients?
Although major morbidity was higher among GPs' patients, differences were entirely attributable to the rate of postpartum infection. Infection rates in both groups were far below expected rates. The observation that blood transfusion and surgical error rates were similar suggests that surgical technique was not the cause of differences between groups. We conclude that these GPs with a mean of 4 months' training subsequently performed cesarean sections with an acceptable degree of safety compared with specialists.
Early ambulation does not seem to increase the risk of developing TLP.
