The Authors present 10 clinical cases in which a modulated Mouchel incision was performed over the period from 1.4.1989 to 1.4.1990 to achieve caesarean section. The postoperative course was uneventful in 9 cases with no complications. The only complication observed was slight left parametric inflammatory infiltrate in one case only. The laparotomy wound healed uneventfully in all 10 cases. Thus, there were no complications contra-indicating the use of Mouchel's technique, which presents demonstrable advantages in the execution of caesarean sections. These consist in rapidity of execution, no need for extensive subfascial detachment, ease of fetal extraction, straightforward reconstruction and an aesthetically valid final result.
