The duration of hospitalization after a caesarean section is still a current topic, but it remains very scarcely documented. We have undertaken a research through a statistical analysis of the factors influencing the duration of hospitalization after a caesarean. The results are collated with the literature. Our retrospective study concerned 645 cesareans performed at the gyn. obst. department at Charles-Nicolle Hospital between June 1989 and May 1990. The average length of hospitalization after a caesarean was of 4.7 (+/- 2.2 days). The age of the patient, the type of incision, the state of the child or the antibiotherapy have no influence on the length of hospitalization after a caesarean. However, the latter increases significantly with the following factors: un married mothers, multiparity, medical maternal previous history, and per and post operative complications.
