Cesarean delivery is one of the most common major abdominal operation in women worldwide. The incidence of postpartum infection has been estimated to be 1-4% after vaginal delivery and 10-20% after Cesarean delivery. Although it is widely performed, manual removal of the placenta is still a conflicting issue due to the risk of post-partum endometritis. All cesarean patients are randomized according to the removal of placenta from the uterus after childbirth; manually (Group 1) or controlled cord traction without putting fingers inside the uterus (Group 2). The aim of this study is to examine whether there is an association between the method of removal of the placenta and postpartum white blood cell increase in nonanemic, singleton, low-risk group of women with term pregnancies, who underwent elective cesarean delivery under general anesthesia.
