Background: Cesarean delivery is a surgical operation to deliver a fetus weighing greater than or equal to 1000 g or gestational age (GA) greater than or equal to 28 weeks compared with vaginal delivery, CS delivery carries a higher number of postpartum complications, and the higher rate is mainly related to obesity. Hence, the present study was conducted for evaluating the maternal complications in patients undergoing cesarean sections. Materials &Methods: Data of a total of 200 subjects who underwent cesarean section was analyzed. If the chosen patient's chart or record was misplaced or lost, the chart/record of the patient whose cesarean birth operation was carried out next to the case chosen for data extraction was taken into consideration. The following signs and symptoms could be present during the procedure or within 7 days after the cesarean delivery as a result of maternal complications: infection, fever, wound dehiscence, bleeding, organ damage, anemia, respiratory tract infection, and postpartum cardiomyopathy. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: In the present study, a total of 200 pregnant subjects scheduled to undergo c section were enrolled. Mean age of the patients was 31.5 years. Majority of the subjects were of rural residence while mean BMI of the subjects was 26.8 Kg/m2. Out of 200 subjects, maternal complications were encountered in 31 percent of the subjects.Among these 62 patients with maternal complications, intraoperative complications were seen in 13 patients while postoperative complications were seen in the remaining 49 patients. Conclusion: Postoperative complications are the most common type of complications associated with cesarean section with surgical site infection being the most commonly encountered.
