ABSTRACT
Rectus Muscle Cutting Rectus muscle cutting with Maylard technique is not associated with any difference in operative morbidity, difficult deliveries, postoperative complications or pain scores compared with Pfannenstiel (no muscle cutting) technique (37-39), but abdominal muscle strength at 3 months tends to be better in the Pfannenstiel group (39). Therefore, rectus muscle cutting is probably not necessary (35).
