Among control group, 5 (5%) were Seroma, 0 (0%) were Hematoma, 10 (10%) were Separation 5 (5%) ، 5 (5%) were Wound infection, 03 (3%) Skin infection, 0 (0%) were Endometritis, 5 (5%) were Febrile morbidity. There was statistically important difference between studied cases as regard seroma, separation, wound infection, skin infection and febrile morbidity. Conclusion: Changing gloves during C-S was linked to a lower risk of infection at the incisional surgical site, as well as a reduction in postoperative febrile morbidity.
