To examine the incidence and risk factors for postoperative infections after cesarean sections and major gynecological surgeries.
Documented postoperative infections in patient registers from cesarean sections and gynecological surgeries.
Conducted a prospective analysis of hospital morbidity and mortality in obstetrics and gynecology.
Analyzed infection rates and identified causative organisms.
Identified 89 cases of postoperative infections among 4,032 patients, with an overall infection rate of 2.2%.
Infection rate was 3.3% for cesarean sections and 0.9% for major gynecological surgeries.
Abdominal hysterectomies showed a higher infection rate compared to vaginal surgeries.
Common organisms found included Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, and Klebsiella species.
