In group A, females underwent suturing by using vicryl rapide. In group B, females underwent suturing by using chromic catgut. After 24 hours of delivery, females were examined for pain score. After 7 days, females were examined for wound infection, inflammation and dehiscence. All this information was recorded in proforma.
