Brief Summary   Cesarean Section is a common procedure and till now consensus on skin closure tachniques remain elusive. common skin closure techniques are are Subcuticular sutures and Staples. Among sutures two most widely used sutures for low transverse cesarean section skin closure are poligPoliglecapreo and polyblactin -910. As there is difference in profile for each suture and physiologic wound healing process,present study is planned to evaluate these two suture materials for subcuticular skin closure.
