Steri-Strips are adhesive strips that are commonly placed over a surgical incision to provide support while the wound heals. At our hospital, Steri-Strips are routinely used after C-sections in addition to standard wound closure techniques, although they are not considered part of the standard recommended closure method.\n\nResearchers want to determine whether adding Steri-Strips actually reduces wound complications such as infection, fluid collection under the skin, or reopening of the incision. Previous studies have shown mixed results, with some suggesting little difference in wound healing outcomes while others reported differences in scar appearance. Steri-Strips may also increase costs, add time to the surgery, and occasionally cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.\n\nParticipants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard cesarean wound closure with Steri-Strips, while the other group will receive standard wound closure without Steri-Strips. Researchers will compare wound healing, complications, patient outcomes, and costs between the two groups.\n\nThe goal of this study is to determine whether Steri-Strips improve recovery after cesarean delivery and whether their routine use is beneficial and cost-effective. The findings may help guide future recommendations for cesarean wound care and improve outcomes for patients undergoing C-section delivery.",[78,79,80,81],"Cesarean Section","Surgical Site Infection","Wound Dehiscence","Seroma",[78,83,84,85,86,87,79,80,81,88,89,90,91,92,93],"Cesarean Delivery","C-Section","Steri-Strips","Skin Closure","Wound Closure","Postoperative Wound Complications","Obstetric Surgery","Incision Management","Surgical Wound Healing","Maternal Morbidity","Randomized Controlled Trial","2026-06-29",{"date":96,"type":97},"2026-07-07","ACTUAL",{"date":99,"type":72},"2026-06",{"date":101,"type":72},"2027-12",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
