Summary

We hypothesize that the use of absorbable staples to close cesarean skin incisions will cause less pain, have better long-term cosmetic results, and result in improved patient satisfaction over standard metal staples. We expect to see no difference in wound complication rates with these two cesarean skin closure techniques.
