Abstract
Subcuticular skin closure with 4-0 Vicryl is associated with comparable rates of surgical site infection and other wound complications as 4-0 Monocryl. While this is an observational study with the potential for selection bias and residual confounding, our results suggest physician preference is acceptable for choice of subcuticular suture material at cesarean.
