Which suture is better for caesarean section?

Nowadays, many women experience difficult labor. When faced with this situation, people generally choose cesarean section to deliver the baby. When talking about cesarean section, we have to talk about the suture. This is a very important step, and many women are afraid that choosing a bad thread will have a bad effect on their body. So let me introduce which suture is better for cesarean section.

Cesarean section is an important operation in obstetrics. The first live cesarean section occurred in 1610, when surgeons Trautmann and Gusth performed the first cesarean section on a woman, but the woman died 25 days after the operation. Vaginal delivery is a natural and physiological way of delivery. The mother can recover quickly after delivery and the newborn can better adapt to the external environment. A cesarean section is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is opened through the abdomen to remove the fetus.

Currently, there are two main types of sutures used in clinical cesarean sections: absorbable and non-absorbable. Since most women hope that the surgical scars after the operation can be reduced to avoid affecting the future aesthetics, absorbable sutures are usually used for subcutaneous sutures after cesarean sections in hospitals. The advantage of this suture is that it does not need to be removed, it can be absorbed by itself after the operation, and the scar after the operation is generally smaller. Non-absorbable sutures are sutured extracutaneously, and the sutures generally need to be removed, resulting in larger scars after the operation.

The rates of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative thrombosis, placenta previa and uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies among women who undergo cesarean section are much higher than those among women who give birth vaginally. At the same time, the rates of respiratory dysfunction and amblyopia in newborns born by cesarean section are higher than those in newborns born vaginally, and their resistance is much lower than that of newborns born vaginally. Cesarean section without medical indications not only fails to reduce perinatal mortality, but increases postoperative morbidity and maternal mortality. Therefore, cesarean section without medical indications is not recommended.
