A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier to Reduce Adhesion Formation Following Cesarean Delivery
A multicenter, randomized, controlled, single blinded study to evaluate the effectiveness of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier in reducing adhesion formation in cesarean deliveries. Primary outcome will be measurement of the extent and severity of adhesions at the time of subsequent cesarean delivery. Secondary outcomes will include measures of safety, operative times (ex., incision-delivery; total operative time).

Interventions
- modified sodium hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose

Primary outcomes
- Incidence of Adhesions — 3 to 5 years
The Percentage of participants with one or more adhesions, regardless of the extent or severity - Adhesion Score — 3 to 5 years
Adhesion score. Derived by assigning 1 point for filmy adhesion and 2 points for dense adhesions at each of 6 possible sites in the abdomen. Thus the score can range from 0 (i.e., no adhesions at any location) to 12 (dense adhesions at each site).
