Rectus re-approximation and periton closure are not the obligatory steps during cesarean section. These steps are due to surgeon's preference. However, there is lack of knowledge about the relation of rectus muscle re-approximation and adhesion formation. We are going to study the rectus muscle stiffness by share-wave elastosonography.

Rectus muscle stiffness
Share wave elastosonography is going to perform to six different points of rectus muscle. Each points will be 2 cm right or left side of linea alba line in horizontal axis. Two points are on cesarean section incision, next two points 2 cm below the incision and other next two points 2 cm above the incision in vertical axis. Rectus muscle stiffness will show the adhesion formation.
