Infectious morbidity after primary cesarean sections in a private institution.

Abstract:

:Primary cesarean sections were performed on 395 patients between January 1, and December 31, 1976. A retrospective review of 322 of these patients indicated that the incidence of postoperative intrauterine infection was the same in both monitored and nonmonitored patients. The incidence of postoperative intrauterine infections was not significantly related to ruptured membranes or the duration of ruptured membranes. The most significant factor associated with postoperative morbidity was the type of anesthesia.
