Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The medical literature does not provide sufficient information or recommendation regarding the optimal time to remove the staples and the bandage after a cesarean section. The goal of this study is to compare 5 groups of patients:

1. staple removal on POD 4 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)1
2. staple removal on POD 4 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)4
3. staple removal on POD 7 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)1
4. staple removal on POD 7 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)7
5. staple removal on POD 4 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)7

Since there is no definite protocol for staple and dressing removal, we will adapt the above protocol each for a 3-4 month period of time. Patients will be contacted to either return for a follow up visit or to answer a telephone survey.
