To compare the cosmetic result of the PEAK Plasma Blade with traditional scalpel in patients who had primary cesarean delivery by using POSAS (Patient and Observer Assessment Scale).
Fourty women between 20 and 40 years, who were planning to have primary cesarean delivery, were randomized for skin incision with PEAK Plasma Blade (n:20) and with scalpel (n:20) were blinded to their group allocation. At six months, the cosmetic outcome of the cesarean scar was assessed using the POSAS. Subjective scar rating was performed using the patient component of the POSAS. Objective scar assessment was performed by an observer dermatologist blinded to the patient's group allocation.
The observer scores (p = 0,003), patient scores (p = 0,001) and the total scores (p = 0,001) of the POSAS scale were significantly lower in favor of the Peak Plasma Blade group with respect to the scalpel group.
The PEAK Plasma Blade has superior cosmetic outcome compared to traditional scalpel skin incision at cesarean section.
使用患者和观察者评估量表（POSAS）比较PEAK等离子刀与传统手术刀在初次剖宫产患者中的美容效果。
40名年龄在20至40岁之间、计划进行初次剖宫产的女性被随机分为两组，分别使用PEAK等离子刀（n = 20）和手术刀（n = 20）进行皮肤切口，她们对分组情况不知情。在术后六个月，使用POSAS评估剖宫产疤痕的美容效果。主观疤痕评分采用POSAS中的患者部分进行。客观疤痕评估由一位对患者分组情况不知情的皮肤科医生进行。
与手术刀组相比，POSAS量表的观察者评分（p = 0.003）、患者评分（p = 0.001）和总分（p = 0.001）在PEAK等离子刀组中显著更低。
在剖宫产中，与传统手术刀皮肤切口相比，PEAK等离子刀具有更好的美容效果。
