Subcuticular skin closure with suture after cesarean has been shown to result in lower rates of wound complications than with staple closure. However, the optimal choice of suture material for subcuticular skin closure is unclear. Vicryl vs Prolen suture materials will be used for subcuticular closure of transverse skin incisions after cesarean section. Patients will be controlled for superficial surgical site infections 1 week after the cesarean section.
