Brief Summary

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

Women undergoing their first second or third cesarean section will be randomized into two groups. One group will have the abdominal bandage removed at 6 hours post-surgery and the other group will have the bandage removed at 24 hours. Staple removal will be at 5 - 7 days for both groups. The incision will be inspected at the time of staple removal. The 2 groups will be compared for incision disruption and infection. Also, the women will be asked about their satisfaction for time of bandage removal.
