I have heard mixd hints regarding single vs. double layer suturing and have heard that the material used can play a role. I don't have any links since I'm on my phone.
Interesting information and it does make sense. That being said, keep in mind that they only had 35 women in this study with the single, so each one makes up a much higher percentage of the whole, you know? The 8% is misleading in that way. If it were out of 1000 women, then it would be more compelling information. More research is definitely needed in this arena, though. This suggests they should always be doing double layer, just in case. The percentage of ruptures in the double layer group was higher than I have ever seen in past studies also.

My OB told me that she routinely does a double layer of sutures if there is any possibility of a future pregnancy. She will do a single layer ONLY when there had been a previous discussion with the patient regarding no more children in the future.
I thought that was standard practice across the board.

I don't think so...from what I found after researching it some more, it looks like many doctors use single layer (or have been since a certain year, can't remember when) because it is actually better for the patient in a lot of ways...I think quicker healing time, less chance of infection, etc etc. Damn I meant to post the other articles I found and I got distracted and never went back and did it
As my OB was suturing, she mentioned that she was doing a double layer because she knew I hoped to VBAC. I assumed it was common practice as well. Interesting.

Agreed.

Re: Oh this is no bueno :(
I will definitely have to ask my doctor at my next appt whether mine is single or double.
8.6% isn't a number I'd be too comfortable with.

Agreed.
I couldn't agree more!
