About the study
Given the high numbers of cesarean deliveries being performed today, there has been interest in optimizing surgical techniques. Several recent reviews have summarized the evidence for various steps of cesarean delivery, but surprisingly in many cases there is little scientific evidence on which to base the choice of surgical technique.
What is being tested
- absorbable subcuticular polyglycolic acid staples (INSORB) (procedure)
- subcuticular, polyglecaprone suture (Monocryl) (procedure)
