Varese, Italy, perform caesarean After giving birth, usually closed with stitches scar or staples (use gummed pencokot). Recent studies indicate that the second option has the same aesthetic result. The surgeons have a number of ways to close the wounds caused by C-section, ie using staples or a variety of stitches including using materials that must be removed or absorbed into the body. But only few know that whether this aesthetic results will vary if you select a different method.
For this new study, Italian researchers randomly chose 180 of women who underwent Caesarean section for selecting one of four methods of wound closure. That method is through staples or one of three types of stitches, including an absorbing stitches and stitches that must be removed. After 2-6 months found no difference between the aesthetics of the entire group including the wound healing process.
'Generally, women who must undergo a cesarean section can expect to have the same esthetic result without seeing the types of closing the wound,' said Dr. Antonella Cromi from the University of Insubria in Varese, Italy, as quoted in Reuters, Friday (14/05/2010) .
Dr Cromi adding that the results vary between patients depending on the delivery of other factors in the use of sutures or staples. Final appearance and skin healing depended on whether the patient is diligent control to the doctor or not.
For example, women with darker skin tend to have keloid compared with white women. This area can be expanded and sometimes accompanied by itching, pain and scarring. Also women who smoke and have diabetes tend to have a longer recovery time than other women who do not have certain medical conditions.
The use of staples tend to be more preferred because this method is faster and protect patients from suture needles from the accident. But on the other hand some women prefer the type of stitches that can be absorbed by the body so it does not need to do a retraction.
