    Postoperative intrauterine infection after cesarean section was not linked to membrane status. Anesthesia type, however, was the most significant factor influencing postoperative morbidity in these patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Infection Prevention

    Background:

    • Cesarean sections are common surgical procedures.
    • Postoperative intrauterine infection is a known complication.
    • Monitoring protocols and membrane status are potential risk factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of postoperative intrauterine infection following primary cesarean sections.
    • To identify factors associated with postoperative morbidity, including patient monitoring and membrane status.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 322 patients who underwent primary cesarean sections.
    • Comparison of infection rates between monitored and non-monitored groups.
    • Analysis of the relationship between infection incidence and membrane status (ruptured or duration).

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in postoperative intrauterine infection rates was observed between monitored and non-monitored patients.
    • Ruptured membranes or their duration did not significantly correlate with infection incidence.
    • Anesthesia type emerged as the most significant factor associated with postoperative morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Intrauterine infection rates after cesarean section are not significantly affected by monitoring or membrane status.
    • Anesthesia choice is a critical factor in managing postoperative morbidity in cesarean delivery.
