Patient's question:
I have had four fracture surgeries in the past. The first one didn't require suture removal, but the two subsequent surgeries involved a period of suture extrusion from the incision. Recently, I need to undergo a cesarean section, and I'm worried whether the sutures used to close the uterus will also extrude. If they don't extrude, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Cesarean section generally involves debridement of the uterus using continuous micro-Jouan suture. It is highly unlikely for such a problem to occur again. Your previous surgery had issues with suture healing, so I recommend avoiding aesthetic debridement of the skin layer during a cesarean. You can use silk suture for debridement and remove the stitches 6 days post-surgery, which will definitely prevent the current concerns you have. Cesarean section conditions are very serious, and it is advised that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
