Official title
Cesarean Delivery Skin Closure: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Standard Staples Versus Absorbable Staples
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
We hypothesize that the use of absorbable staples to close cesarean skin incisions will cause less pain, have better long-term cosmetic results, and result in improved patient satisfaction over standard metal staples. We expect to see no difference in wound complication rates with these two cesarean skin closure techniques.
