Summary

This study looked at 300 adults having planned cesarean deliveries to see if the way doctors close the wound under the skin affects healing. Three methods were compared: no stitches, a few separate stitches, or one long continuous stitch. The goal was to find out which method leads to fewer wound problems, like infection or fluid buildup, by ten days after surgery, and how it affects surgery time.
