  ABSTRACT: Due to the recent advances in assisted reproductive technology therapy and perinatal care, cesarean sections have been increasingly employed. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effectiveness of Seprafilm® in saving time during fetal deliveries and in minimizing the amount of blood loss in cesarean deliveries. In cases of second cesarean section, our results showed that Seprafilm® significantly reduced the fetal delivery time from 7.5 ± 2.8 to 5.4 ± 2.2 min (p = 0.001). The time required for total surgery was shortened from 45.3 ± 10.0 to 39.6 ± 6.5 min (p = 0.003). The blood loss was diminished from 816.4 ± 352.1 to 630.8 ± 255.9 g (p = 0.01). These results demonstrate that Seprafilm® is very effective even in repeated cesarean sections.
