| description | Background & aim: Due to the development of major complications after cesarean section (C-section), surgical site infection and delayed wound healing was of great concern to gynecologists since a long time ago. It is especially the case for mothers susceptible to post-cesarean wound infection who need special care. The present study therefore aimed to investigate the effect of Recove ointment on wound healing in women susceptible to C-section wound infection. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized clinical trial, which was conducted on the women who underwent C-section in Ommolbanin Hospital, Mashhad, in 2019, using a two-group design, a number of 80 eligible women with C-section were assigned into intervention and placebo groups. Intervention group received Recove ointment for a maximum of 10 days. The wound recovery was assessed using Reeda scale before intervention and 3, 5, and 10 days after C-section. Data were analyzed using T test and Mann-Whitey, Chi-square as well as Fisher's exact test. Results: The score of wound healing was significantly different in intervention and control group 5 days after cesarean section (P=0.008). But no significant difference was seen between two groups on days 3 and 10 post cesarean (P=0.69). Also there was significant difference between wound healing score before and after intervention in both intervention (P=0.001) and placebo groups (P=0.001). Conclusion: Although the effectiveness of the ingredients of Recove ointment was indicated in several studies, this ointment was revealed to be effective for wounds healing just 5 days after cesarean section. Further research with larger sample size is required to investigate the effect of this ointment. |
