Rezumat: Reaching up to 3% of maternal mortality, alongside
postpartum
hemorrhage, the infection in obstetrics is the
second-mentioned contributor to maternal mortality. In
order to review the literature on the surgical site infections
in obstetrics, including risk factors, diagnosis and management,
published electronic databases such as PubMed
and MEDLINE were reviewed and searched, from the 1st of
January 2015 to the 30th of April 2020, using keywords such
as surgical site infection, infection prevention
in obstetrics,
risk factors, caesarean section, along with medical texts
pertaining to surgical site infections
in obstetrics. From
a total of 666 eligible studies, 22 papers were selected as
relevant to the subject and included
in our final review,
7 trial studies, totaling 48,262 patients,
and 15 clinical
guidelines and systematic reviews
incorporating risk
factors, methods of diagnosis, prevention
and treatment. As caesarean section delivery rates are unceasingly
increasing around the world, complications such as surgical site infections continue to concern the obstetricians and healthcare professionals. Cuvinte cheie: surgical site infection, infection prevention in
