Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital to compare subcutaneous drain versus wound irrigation with normal saline for the prevention of surgical site infection following cesarean section in obese patients. Eligible women were randomly assigned to either subcutaneous drain placement or intraoperative wound irrigation, or subcutaneous skin closure only. The primary outcome was the incidence of surgical site infection, with additional assessment of postoperative wound complications and recovery.
