Abstract Background: Although several studies compared absorbable and nonabsorbable suture, only one of these studies has found an increase in wound complications for nonabsorbable suture. Objective: The objective is to compare the rate of wound complications among women who will undergo cesarean delivery through a Pfannenstiel skin incision followed by subcuticular closure with either polyglactin 910 sutures (VICRYL RAPIDE®; Ethicon), (DemeCRYL®; DemeTECH) or polypropylene (DemeLENE®; DemeTECH). Methods: The prospective randomized controlled clinical trial conducted of 90 pregnant women scheduled for elective caesarean section and subdivided into 3 groups; group A: (30) women with subcuticular suture, synthetic, absorbable, coated, polyglactin 910, braided, undyed, 2-0, 75 cm, 26mm reverse cutting needle (VICRYL RAPIDE®; Ethicon), group B: (30) women with subcuticular suture, synthetic, absorbable, coated, polyglactin 910, braided, violet, 2-0, 75 cm, 36mm reverse cutting needle (DemeCRYL®; DemeTECH) and group C: (30) women with subcuticular suture, synthetic, non-absorbable, uncoated, polypropylene, monofilament, blue, 2-0, 100 cm, 40mm curved cutting needle (DemeLENE®; DemeTECH). |
