    The cesarean section rate was 21.6%, with primary cesarean sections at 14.9%. Primary cesarean section patients faced higher endometritis risk compared to repeat cesarean patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Outcomes Research

    Background:

    • Cesarean section rates are a key indicator of obstetric practice.
    • Understanding indications and postoperative morbidity is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze cesarean section rates and indications over an 18-month period.
    • To investigate postoperative morbidity, specifically endometritis, in relation to primary versus repeat cesarean sections.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of cesarean section data over 18 months.
    • Comparison of morbidity rates (endometritis, wound infection, UTI) between primary and repeat cesarean sections.

    Main Results:

    • The overall cesarean section rate was 21.6%, with a primary rate of 14.9%.

  • Cephalopelvic disproportion and breech presentation were the leading indications for primary cesarean sections (50%).
  • Patients undergoing primary cesarean section had a significantly higher risk of postoperative endometritis compared to those having a repeat procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Primary cesarean sections are associated with an increased risk of postoperative endometritis.
    • Labor, ruptured membranes, and internal fetal-maternal monitoring were not significant risk factors for endometritis in this cohort.
