Surgeon's comment at C-Section?

[JustLaura]

Can anyone explain this?

My last child was born by planned c-section (this was my only C-section).

Something is bugging me, only because I have prolonged persistent hip pain on that side that has worsened since the C-section.

As the Surgeon was sewing me back up, he had to shout for additional suture.

His team member queried if the correct number of suture was on the tray and the surgeon replied "Yes. I just need extra suture as there is limited tone".

Does "limited tone" mean no muscle? all fat?

Any thoughts anyone?

No tone is not fat necessarily but often more about uterus contraction, how easy it is to close the wound etc.

always set up a standard tray with x number of everything and then add extras. There’s a very careful count of sutures, swabs, scalpels, gauze etc kept so we can account for everything.

Thanks @UncharteredWaters

So does that imply uterus contraction was a problem?

Can it be sewn too tight or is that not how it works?

Sorry for the questions!
