Comparative Analysis of Subcuticular Suture Materials in Cesarean Section
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
1.1. Background and Rationale Cesarean section is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. The choice of suture material for closing the skin incision is crucial, as it can influence wound healing, the risk of wound complications, and the cosmetic outcome. Subcuticular suturing, a technique where the suture is placed just under the skin, is favored for its aesthetic benefits and reduced risk of infection. However, the type of suture material used can significantly impact these outcomes. This study aims to provide a comparative analysis of various subcuticular suture materials used in cesarean sections, focusing on wound complications and incision outcomes. 1.2. Objective of the Study The objective of this study is to compare the incidence of wound complications and the quality of incision outcomes associated with different subcuticular suture materials used in cesarean sections. By doing so, the investigators aim to identify the most effective suture material for minimizing wound complications and optimizing cosmetic results.
