Economic and clinical outcomes of cesarean deliveries with skin closure using 2-octyl cyanoacrylate plus polymer mesh tape versus conventional smooth sutures plus waterproof wound dressings
In this large observational study, cesarean deliveries with skin closure using 2OPMT were associated with lower post-surgical length of stay, lower total hospital costs for the cesarean delivery stay, lower incidence proportions of 30-day readmissions, and lower incidence proportions of 30-day clinical/wound complications as compared with CS-WWD.
