The authors have analyzed the outcome of cesarean section celiotomy in obese pregnant women. The occurrence of postoperative wound infections, eventually dehiscence, in 2015 pregnant women who underwent caesarean section in a 3-year interval at the Craiova 1st Clinic of Obstetrics was studied. The analysis revealed the relation between postoperative wound infection and its topography, the type of fat tissue drainage (if done), and skin suture. The authors present a very effective method of subcutaneous drainage in obese pregnant women after cesarean section.
