Which stitch heals better after childbirth? new study compares synthetic vs. catgut sutures

This study looked at 126 women who had an episiotomy (a cut made during childbirth) to see which type of stitch heals better: absorbable synthetic stitches or catgut stitches. The researchers measured pain, infection, and wound reopening after the repair. The goal was to find the best option for faster, safer healing.
