No Closure vs Interrupted vs Continuous Subcutaneous Closure: Operative Time and Wound Outcomes

The goal of this clinical trial is to research whether different methods of suturing during elective cesarean delivery affect surgery time and early wound healing. The study includes adults undergoing elective cesarean delivery with subcutaneous fat thickness of at least 2 centimetres. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the closure method change how long the surgery takes? * Does the closure method change the chance of wound problems by day ten after surgery (such as fluid collection under the skin or wound infection)? The investigators will compare three approaches-no subcutaneous suturing, three interrupted sutures, and one continuous non-locking suture-to research if one method improves wound outcomes without meaningfully increasing operative time. Participants will: Receive one of the three closure methods during their cesarean delivery Return around day ten after surgery for a standardised wound examination and an ultrasound evaluation of the incision area.
