This Study seeks to get some local perspective on the need for and type of subcutaneous fat closure in obese women undergoing cesarean section, thereby reducing Surgical Site Infection. This is a pilot; double- blinded randomized control trial, with balanced randomization (1:1) and parallel grouped study. The sample size calculated by Raosoft Sample Size Calculator Software determined that based on a margin of error of 5%, there would need to be 266 participants to give 90% confidence level to detect a significant difference between both arms of the study. Patients who are immune-compromised, those with anemia, requiring transfusion will be excluded from the study, also any mother who wishes not to participate. Patients will be reviewed 7 days post operatively. Wound complications will be identified by a questionnaire by telephone at 4 weeks and 3 months post operatively. Data will be collected from Specific closed answer questions. Data extraction sheet will be used to collect data for the patient. This information will be collected either from the docket, direct review or examination of the study participants. The research will be done at Victoria Jubilee Hospital. The Research will last six months.",[51],"Pregnancy, Obesity","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-05-06",{"date":55,"type":56},"2025-05-11","ACTUAL",{"date":58,"type":45},"2025-09-01",{"date":60,"type":45},"2026-09-30",{"name":5,"class":6}]
