An interventional study of interrupted sutures and continous sutures in Cesarean Section, sponsored by Aljazeera Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-05.

Only a small number of research studies evaluated the impact of various subcutaneous tissue and skin closure methods at cesarean section. In a meta-analysis a major decline in incision site rupture was revealed when suturing the subcutaneous tissue in women with a subcutaneous depth >2 cm.
Postoperative wound complications are one of the great issues in cesarean section (CS) with an incidence ranging from 3% to 30%.1 Obesity, operative time, diabetes, age of the patient, anemia, associated infection (e.g chorioamnionitis), the use of internal monitoring, delayed labor with many vaginal examinations and reduced nutrition are recognized risk factors for wound infections.
Evaluating the various techniques for closure of the subcutaneous layer.
270 studies on the registry are indexed under Wound Infection; 33 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 400 is above the median of 141 across 228 interventional studies indexed under Wound Infection.

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Time frame: one month post cesarean section
Ran from Jun 2017 to primary completion in Nov 2017, 4 months.
Of 59 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Wound Infection, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 53. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 64 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 53.
