Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if antiseptic washing prior to skin closure during cesarean section reduces rates of surgical site infection. intraoperative washing is a common practice in other surgical fields and several studies have shown efficacy in reducing postoperative infection rates. no randomized control trial has tested this intervention during cesarean section. The main questions we aim to answer are: Does subcutaneous antiseptic washing reduce the rates of surgical site infection? Does antiseptic washing improve scar healing? Does antiseptic washing reduce hospital stay, postpartum fever rates and readmission cases? Researchers will compare subcutaneous antiseptic washing to no intervention to see if surgical site infection rates reduce Participants will: consent to participate in the trial Visit the postpartum clinic 30 days after surgery
