ABSTRACT

Caesarean section is a major operation, with great potential benefit, but also with substantial risks for both mother and baby.[1] Maternal mortality and morbidity are higher than for vaginal delivery, although rates are becoming lower with advances in technology.[2] Infectious morbidity remains a leading cause of postoperative complications following caesarean delivery.[3] The major infectious complications of caesarean delivery are Fever, wound infection, endometritis and UTI(Urinary Tract Infection).[4]
