Group 1 (Vicryl Suture™(Polyglactin 910))
The group whose skin incision is closed with Vicryl suture™ (Polyglactin 910) Evaluation of wound infection at the 10th postoperative day control: Discharge, redness, temperature increase and opening were accepted as wound infection.Evaluation of the cosmetic results of the incision line in all groups at the 2nd and 6th month postoperative controls: The cosmetic results of wound healing are two different It was evaluated with a scale. The Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to evaluate scar quality. The researcher scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, elasticity, and surface area. The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, relief, and flexibility. All items are scored on a 10-point multiple scale; 1 point is given when the scar characteristic resembles 'normal skin', and 10 points are given when it reflects the 'worst scar'. All items are summed to determine the total scar score; a higher score represents worse scar quality. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) consists of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of 0 reflecting normal skin.

The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, elevation, and elasticity. All items are scored on a 10-point scale; 1 point is given when the wound characteristic is similar to 'normal skin', and 10 points are given when it reflects the 'worst wound'. The total score closest to normal skin is 11, and the total score reflecting the worst wound is 110. The other scale is the Vancouver Wound Scale (VSS), consisting of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity, and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 13, with 0 reflecting normal skin and 13 reflecting the worst wound.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: End of the 2nd month and 6th monthPopulation: Inclusion Criteria: 18-45 years old Patients who had a primary cesarean section at 37w Patients with a Pfannenstiel incision closed subcutaneously
The cosmetic outcome of wound healing was assessed using two different scales. The Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to assess wound quality. The investigator scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, elasticity, and surface area. The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, elevation, and elasticity. All items are scored on a 10-point scale; 1 point is given when the wound characteristic is similar to 'normal skin', and 10 points are given when it reflects the 'worst wound'. The total score closest to normal skin is 11, and the total score reflecting the worst wound is 110. The other scale is the Vancouver Wound Scale (VSS), consisting of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity, and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 13, with 0 reflecting normal skin and 13 reflecting the worst wound.

Group 1 (Vicryl Suture™(Polyglactin 910))
n=85 participants at risk
The group of patients who had a cesarean section for the first time and whose skin incision was closed with Vicryl suture™ (Polyglactin 910) Evaluation of wound infection at the 10th postoperative day control: Discharge, redness, increased temperature and opening were accepted as wound infection. Evaluation of the cosmetic results of the incision line in all groups at the 2nd and 6th month postoperative controls: The cosmetic results of wound healing are two different It was evaluated with a scale. The Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to evaluate scar quality. The researcher scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, elasticity, and surface area. The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, relief, and flexibility. All items are scored on a 10-point multiple scale; 1 point is given when the scar characteristic resembles 'normal skin', and 10 points are given when it reflects the 'worst scar'. All items are summed to determine the total scar score; a higher score represents worse scar quality. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) consists of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of 0 reflecting normal skin.
