Abstract: Our data suggest that obesity is a independent risk factor for postcesarean infectious morbidity and endomyometritis, even if the cesarean is elective and prophylactic antibiotics are given.

“…This higher rate in our study is likely to be at least partially influenced by in-house obstetric practice, with a high incidence of elective cesarean section, but we neither found between-group differences in emergency cesarean nor in labor or puerperium complications. This observation is at variance with previous reports [3,24,25] describing a greater risk for the use of forceps, shoulder dystocia, early neonatal death, endometritis and wound infection in OB women [3,4,23,24,25]. This difference can be best explained by our lower incidence of LGA newborns, the high rate of cesarean deliveries and the routine use of prophylactic antibiotics.…”
