InterventionJust before entering the operating room for a Caesarean section, the patients will be randomised in two groups:
1. Direct manual placenta extraction group: the obstetrician's hand is introduced into the uterine cavity and the placenta is removed after creating a cleavage plane
2. Spontaneous placenta removal group: the obstetrician applies gentle traction on the umbilical cord until the placenta passes through the uterine incision

Principal participant variables include: maternal age and parity, gestational age, previous caesarean section, duration of labour, duration of ruptured membranes.

Indications for caesarean section include: elective repeat, labour arrest, malpresentation, foetal distress, antepartum hemoglobin, estimated per operative blood loss, endometritis, wound infection, postpartum haemoglobin, postoperative stay.
