Surgical incision should heal with first intension with minimum deformity. Pain perception during postoperative period (short term) and appreciation of scar (long term) are two key components assessed by patients after a caesarean section. The present study compares these parameters using absorbable and non-absorbable material for skin closure using subcuticular stitch. The study shows a significant difference in pain perception on 1st postoperative week along with shorter duration of hospital stay and patients appreciation of scar quality on long term are significantly better in absorbable suture group.
