Surgical site infections (SSIs) following caesarean delivery remain a significant cause of maternal morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and patient distress. Effective prevention and early intervention are essential to improving maternal outcomes and reducing postoperative complications.

This session will provide a practical, evidence-based approach to the prevention, early recognition, and management of post-caesarean surgical site infections. Key topics will include risk factor assessment, perioperative infection prevention strategies, wound evaluation, antimicrobial selection, and management of both superficial and deep infections. The discussion will focus on real-world clinical scenarios and actionable strategies that clinicians can implement in everyday obstetric practice.
