    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Maternal Health

    Background:

    • Caesarean sections (c.s.) are common surgical procedures.
    • Maternal complications, while infrequent, can have significant sequelae.
    • Understanding post-operative complication rates is crucial for patient safety.

    Observation:

    • A review of 1154 caesarean sections was conducted.
    • The surgical procedure itself was uncomplicated in 92.8% of cases.
    • Post-operative complications occurred in 33.5% of patients.

    Findings:

    • Complication incidence aligns with previous publications.
    • Complications were more frequent in acute caesarean sections compared to elective ones.
    • Two patients developed secondary fistulae; no deaths occurred.

    Implications:

    • Vesico-vaginal fistula is a potential, though rare, complication.
    • Further research into preventing and managing caesarean section complications is warranted.
    • Management strategies should consider the urgency of the caesarean section.
