Study Summary
The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial with two arms. All patients admitted to Labor and Delivery at Johns Hopkins Hospital for delivery will be approached and offered entry into our study. Once the patient is enrolled, and if she undergoes a cesarean section, the patient will be randomized at time of cesarean section to receive skin closure by either the INSORB™ absorbable staples or subcuticular closure using Biosyn™ suture as is the standard practice. Both an observer scar assessment score (OSAS) and patient scar assessment score (PSAS) will be obtained during this visit. The patient will then be contacted by telephone by a study member 3 months after her surgery for a brief survey (same PSAS survey) assessing her satisfaction with the resulting scar.
Primary Outcome
Visual Analog Score 0-10, with 0 being painless and 10 being the most severe
