Abstract
Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequent abdominal procedures conducted in women worldwide. It is known that 5% of women who underwent CS would encounter wound complications. Several studies had been performed throughout the years to find the best option for skin closure in CS but to no avail, as none shows conclusive evidence. However, there is evidence showing that wound complications are reduced with the subcutaneous tissue closure technique. This case report is presenting a new non-suture technique of skin closure by opposing the skin using steri-strip after the adipose tissue is sutured, following a standard CS to eliminate any foreign materials to reduce bacterial entrapment and vascular disruption at the dermis layer thus reduce keloid formation.
