*5.1.2.11 Fascia and skin closure*

Interrupted or continuous suturing could be used for closing the fascia. For hemostasis, subcutaneous tissue should be irrigated and inspected carefully. The wound disruption risk seems to be decreased with subcutaneous fat layer closure or with continuous low-pressure suction for draining subcutaneous hemorrhage or exudate in obese women. Skin closure is performed using either staples or subcuticular sutures with adhesive tape.

#### *5.1.3 Postoperative management*

Postoperative care is important for general management and wound management. Prophylactic antibiotics and suction drainage are the key points for wound healing. Wound dehiscence and infection should be managed by good wound bed preparation.
