Scar Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Wound Site Infection, Early and Late Wound Healing and Cosmetic Results of Vicryl, Tekmon and Prolene Suture Materials Used in Pfannenstiel Skin Incision in Caesarean Section Surgery
Our primary aim is to determine the most beneficial suture in order to reduce complications due to skin incision in common surgeries such as cesarean section, and our secondary aim is to evaluate the suture material used in terms of cosmetic results and participant preference.
Patients who met the inclusion criteria among patients who had a cesarean delivery (January 2023-June 2023) in our hospital within a 6-month period will be included in the study. Patients included in the study will be randomized and divided into three randomized groups as Vicryl (Polyglactin 910), Monocryl (Polyglecaprone 25) and Prolene (polypropylene) to be administered. Each cesarean section technique will be left to the discretion of the surgeon performing the operation, and cefazolin 2 g will be administered prophylactically half an hour before each procedure in our clinic. In all cases, a Pfannenstiel skin incision will be made 2 cm above the pubic symphysis. Following delivery of the fetus, the uterus, peritoneum, and fascia will be closed in sequence. The skin will be sealed with Vicryl (Polyglactin 910), Monocryl (Polyglecaprone 25), and Prolene (polypropylene) according to randomization. The dressing will be removed on the first day after the operation and the patients will be discharged on the second post-op day if there is no problem after the operation. Patients will be called for control on the 10th , 60th and 120th days of pos op. If the post op 10th day is deemed appropriate, the sutures of the patients in the prolene suture group will be removed. All groups that come to the control will be evaluated with the patient and the observer doctor by the patient and observer rating scale (POSAS) and the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). The Patient and Observer Rating Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to assess scar quality. It consists of a five-observer and six-patient scale (Observer and Patient Scales) according to the rating scale based on clinically relevant scar characteristics [ Draaijers LJ, 2004 , Van de Kar AL, 2005]. Observer ; scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, flexibility, and surface area. Patient ; it scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, relief and flexibility [Van de Kar AL , 2005]. All included items are scored on a multiple 10-point scale where 1 point is given when the wound feature is similar to 'normal skin' and 10 points are awarded when it reflects the 'worst scar'. All items are summed to determine the total scar score, with a higher score representing worse scar quality. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) consists of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity, and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of 0 reflecting normal skin ;
