Methods | Standard surgical procedures for secondary suturing should be followed, including wound debridement if needed |
Vaginal mucosa | Continuous technique |
Muscle | Interrupted sutures |
Skin | Depending on the length of the wound, the skin could be sutured by interrupted or subcutaneous sutures or left unsutured if the edges are approximated by suturing the underlying tissues |
Materials | To ensure standardisation of materials, the PREVIEW Study team recommend that standard synthetic polyglactin 910 (gauge 2/0) suture material should be used as the material of choice |
