    Routine antibiotic use is not recommended for cesarean sections without infection risk. Prophylactic antibiotics showed no significant benefit over no antibiotics in preventing post-cesarean complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Disease Prevention
    • Surgical Site Infection

    Background:

    • Cesarean sections carry a risk of surgical site infections.
    • Antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly used to prevent infections after cesarean delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing infections following cesarean sections in low-risk patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 150 low-risk patients undergoing cesarean section.
    • Patients were divided into three groups: no antibiotics, penicillin prophylaxis, or ampicillin plus gentamicin prophylaxis.
    • Infection rates and other clinical outcomes were monitored.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • No significant differences in patient demographics, newborn characteristics, or postoperative fever were observed between groups.
  • Surgical wound infection occurred in one patient in the no-antibiotic group and one in the ampicillin-gentamicin group.
  • A subaponeurotic hematoma occurred in one patient receiving penicillin prophylaxis (p < 0.7).

    • Conclusions:

    • Antibiotic prophylaxis should not be routinely administered for cesarean sections in patients without infection risk.
    • Antibiotics should be reserved for cases where there is a clear indication or risk of infection.
