Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk of wound complications by skin incision type in obese women undergoing cesarean delivery.
CONCLUSIONS: Vertical incisions may be associated with an increased risk for wound complications compared to transverse incisions for cesarean delivery in obese women. Randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate optimal cesarean skin incisions for these women.
