The findings of this study demonstrate that double-layer technique with the first continuous nonlocking suture followed by a second continuous nonlocking suture is associated with better suture healing and greater residual myometrial thickness. No difference was observed between single- and double-layer closure for the presence of maternal infectious morbidity, wound infection or blood transfusion.
