- Abstract
Background: Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed across the world and its trend has been increasing. For skin closure cosmetic appearance is important. The suture material used for cesarean sections should have cosmetically favourable outcomes. Aim and objective: To compare the cosmetic outcome with either poliglecaprone-25 (3-0) or nylon (no.1) sutures among previous CS women undergoing CS through a transverse incision. Method: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at National Institute of Medical Sciences, Jaipur, Rajasthan, after ethical committee clearance. Total 90 pregnant women were enrolled after taking consent, undergoing CS provided they fulfil inclusion criteria. Result: In present study, no difference seen in both the groups with respect to BMI, hemoglobin concentration, duration of rupture of membrane, indication of caesarean, closure of subcutaneous layer. P value was significant with respect to age (p value= 000.3), hospital stay (p value=0.0003), OSAS (p value=0.003) and cosmesis (p value=0.005). PSAS not significantly different in both the groups (p value=0.10). Conclusion: Our study concludes that absorbable subcuticular sutures i.e. poliglecaprone-25 have better outcomes with respect to cosmesis non-absorbable suture nylon.
