Aim: A Study of surgical site infection in patients undergoing caesarean section in GMC Jammu - infection rate and the common causative organisms. Material and methods: This is a retrospective observational study in SMGS Jammu for a period of 2 years from july 2020 to june 2022. Patients undergoing cesarean sections with SSI during this period. Results: In the present investigation, a total of 800 instances of lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) were examined, revealing that 50 cases (6.25%) were afflicted with wound infection. The commonest clinical manifestation of SSI in our study was purulent discharge in 13 (26%) cases. Fever was present in 3(6%) cases. Local pain and induration was observed in 11 (22%) cases. 17 women (34%) had spontaneous superficial dehiscence wound and in 6 women (12%) wound was deliberately opened to facilitate drainage of pus. it was observed that bacterial growth was present in 78% of the cases, while the remaining 22% exhibited sterility in the cultures. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was identified as the most prevalent microorganism isolated from wound exudates. Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were among the frequently encountered microorganisms. Conclusion: A prevalence of 6.25% was observed for surgical site infection (SSI) subsequent to caesarean delivery, which represents a significant contributor to the overall burden of disease for both patients and the healthcare system.
