The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal skin closure technique (staples versus subcuticular suture) at the time of cesarean delivery in Class III obese women with body mass index (BMI) of \>/= 40kg/m2.
A. To assess the rate of wound complications with staples versus subcuticular suture closure in women with a BMI of ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing cesarean delivery (CD). B. No difference was observed in wound complication rates between staples and subcuticular suture skin closure in women with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing cesarean delivery (CD). C. At this time, optimal skin closure method in obese women with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing cesarean delivery remains unknown. More work is needed in this area to help reduce the complication rate in this very high-risk population.
