Official title
A Randomized Prospective Trial Comparing Steri-Strip Application Versus Standard Wound Closure for Cesarean Section Incisions
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is evaluating whether Steri-Strips® provide additional benefits when used after cesarean section (C-section) surgery. Steri-Strips are adhesive strips that are commonly placed over a surgical incision to provide support while the wound heals. At our hospital, Steri-Strips are routinely used after C-sections in addition to standard wound closure techniques, although they are not considered part of the standard recommended closure method. Researchers want to determine whether adding Steri-Strips actually reduces wound complications such as infection, fluid collection under the skin, or reopening of the incision. Previous studies have shown mixed results, with some suggesting little difference in wound healing outcomes while others reported differences in scar appearance. Steri-Strips may also increase costs, add time to the surgery, and occasionally cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard cesarean wound closure with Steri-Strips, while the other group will receive standard wound closure without Steri-Strips. Researchers will compare wound healing, complications, patient outcomes, and costs between the two groups. The goal of this study is to determine whether Steri-Strips improve recovery after cesarean delivery and whether their routine use is beneficial and cost-effective. The findings may help guide future recommendations for cesarean wound care and improve outcomes for patients undergoing C-section delivery.
