Summary

This study looked at 300 women who had a C-section to find out which type of stitch (Vicryl, Monocryl, or Prolene) works best for closing the skin. The goal was to see which stitch leads to fewer wound infections and better-looking scars. Researchers checked for infection 10 days after surgery and compared scar appearance at 2 and 6 months using special scales.
