Study Summary

A comparison of the type of suture used for cesarean skin incision approximation and the subsequent rate of wound complications has not been widely studied. Investigators seek to compare poliglecaprone 25 and polyglactin 910 suture used in a subcuticular skin closure in Pfannenstiel incisions during cesarean birth and determine the subsequent wound complication rates (SSI, hematoma, seroma, wound separation).

Primary Outcome

Any wound disruption, fluid accumulation, separation, all CDC defined stages of surgical site infection (SSI)

Interventions

  • DEVICE poliglecaprone 25 suture
  • DEVICE polyglactin 910 suture
