Official title:
Intracuticular Sutures Versus Glue (Dermabond) for Skin Closure After Cesarean Delivery
To investigate the effect of intracutaneous suture closure versus Glue (dermabond) closure at cesarean section (CS) on long-term cosmetic and maternal outcome.
Women undergoing planned CS were randomized to either intracutaneous suture closure or glue
closure using a 1:1 allocation algorithm. Participants and outcome assessors were blinded to
group allocation. Scar evaluation was performed after two months.
Primary outcome measures were Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) summary
scores 2 months after surgery. Secondary outcome measures were, duration of surgery, and
development of hematoma, seroma, surgical site infection (SSI) or wound disruption.
Data were analyzed according to the intention to treat principle.
