the uterus is closed in two layers using a large (such as 2-0 or 0) absorbable suture, something like a chromic gut, the fascia is closed using a heavy suture such as a 3-0 ethibond (nonabsorbable), plain gut can be used if any for subcutaneous closure, and an absorbable suture can be used on the subcuticular a smaller guage such as 4-0 vicryl, finally the skin can be closed with either staples (most common), tape (uncommon), or sutured with nylon suture (most eventually be removed).

Which suture connects the occipital and parietal bones?
The suture that goes in between the two parietal bones (left and right) is called the saggital suture. That is the main suture that runs in the middle of the top of your head. The parietal bones articulate with the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture and with the temporal bones (left and right where the ears are), at the squamosal suture. Finally the parietal bones both meet with the frontal bone at the coronal suture. But the main suture between the parietals again is the saggital suture.Lambdoidal suture connects the two parietal bones together.
How many people have had problems with vicryl sutures?
I had a bilateral fasciotomy on my calves two years ago, four incisions total, and had a reaction to Vicryl sutures. My body expelled the sutures and I was left with very bad surgery scars.
