Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of skin closure using surgical staplers compared with conventional skin sutures on postoperative pain and wound healing in primiparous women undergoing episiotomy repair after vaginal delivery.
Primiparous women who require episiotomy during vaginal birth will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: skin closure with staples or skin closure with sutures. Postpartum pain levels and wound healing outcomes will be assessed and compared between the two groups.
The results of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based decisions regarding optimal skin closure techniques in episiotomy repair.
