Comparing sutures for C-section closure in women with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of suture material used to close the skin after a C-section. It focuses on women with a BMI of 40 or higher to see which option may lead to better healing.

This study compares three different ways of stitching the uterus closed after a planned c-section. The goal is to see which method helps the uterus heal best.
This study compares two types of thread (suture) used to close the uterus after a first planned C-section. The goal is to see which thread leads to fewer scar defects (called isthmocele) that can cause pain or bleeding later.
This study compares two ways to close the skin after a C-section: absorbable staples (which dissolve on their own) versus regular stitches or staples. It aims to see which method works better for healing and scarring.
This trial is studying whether one type of stitch (polyglactin) works better than another (polypropylene) for closing the belly wall after abdominal surgery. It may help reduce the risk of hernias or other complications.
This trial tests whether a continuous (one-piece) or interrupted (separate) closure technique for the fat layer during a C-section lowers the chance of a surgical-site infection. It may help improve healing and reduce infection risk after surgery.
This study compares two types of dissolvable surgical thread (Stratafix and PDS) used to close the abdominal wall during cesarean delivery. The goal is to see which suture leads to better healing, less pain, and fewer complications after surgery.
