摘要

Purpose

This study aimed to assess the impact of absorbable subcutaneous staples for skin closure in cesarean delivery (CD) on maternal morbidity.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary university-affiliated medical center between January 2011 and April 2022. In 2020, a new technique involving absorbable subcutaneous staples for skin closure in CD was introduced. We compared surgical outcomes among three groups: non-absorbable staples, absorbable subcutaneous staples, and absorbable subcutaneous sutures. Data were compared between the three groups and demographic, obstetric, and surgical characteristics were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis.

Results

During the study period, 31,660 CDs were performed in our center. The data of 31,419 CDs were available for analysis. Absorbable subcutaneous staples were associated with a significantly shorter surgery time in comparison to non-absorbable staples and sutures (52 min vs 53 min vs 60 min, p < 0.001). No differences were found in rates of wound infections or any surgical site surgery in the 45 days following CD. In a multivariate analysis: the use of absorbable subcutaneous staples was associated with a significantly lower risk for prolonged hospitalization > 5 days (OR 0.6, p < 0.001) and re-admission within 45 days (OR 0.8, p = 0.04).

Conclusion

The use of absorbable subcutaneous staples for skin closure during CD is associated with shorter surgery times and a lower risk of prolonged hospitalization and readmission within 45 days.
