“…Comparing the results of this meta-analysis with primary studies, the pooled estimate of post-caesarean surgical site infections in Rwanda, 6.85%, is comparable with 6.7% prevalence in study conducted in Sierra Leone, 29 a little bit lower compared with 7.3% prevalence in Sub-Saharan multicountry study by Medecins Sans Frontieres, 30 a little higher compared with 5.34% prevalence in the study conducted in Egypt 5 and much higher than the 2.1% prevalence as reported in Kenya. 31 On the other hand, some primary studies reported a higher prevalence of post-caesarean SSI compared with the current meta-analysis including 10.9% prevalence in Tanzania, 32 8% in Ethiopia, 33 16.01% in Nigeria 34 and 8.02% in India. 35 The observed differences in post-caesarean SSI prevalence can be explained by varying study populations, healthcare systems and geographical contexts.…”

Caesarean section (C‐section) is the most performed major surgery worldwide. About 15% of births are delivered through C‐section in Rwanda. The post‐caesarean surgical section is one of the most frequent complications that follow a C‐section. The purpose of this systematic review and meta‐analysis is to estimate the pooled prevalence of surgical site infections following caesarean section deliveries in Rwanda. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, DOAJ, AJOL and the Cochrane Library to identify primary studies on post‐caesarean surgical site infections in Rwanda. Studies meeting predetermined criteria were included, and their quality was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistics, while publication bias was examined via funnel plots and statistical tests. Pooled prevalence was calculated using Jamovi 2.3.28 software, with subgroup analysis conducted to identify sources of heterogeneity. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. From 139 articles initially searched from the databases, only 17 studies with 8, 082 individuals were finally included in the systematic review and meta‐analysis. Using the random‐effects model, the pooled estimate of post C‐section SSIs prevalence in Rwanda was 6.85% (95% CI 5.2, 8.5). Subgroup analysis based on publication year, sample size, hospital and study design showed no much difference in SSI prevalence. The current systematic review and meta‐analysis indicates that post‐caesarean surgical site infections are significant in Rwanda. A collaborative effort is required to lower post‐C‐section SSIs and provide the best surgical care in the country.

“…The existing cesarean section delivery rate is actually too high, so there are various efforts to reduce it due to the increase in maternal morbidity and morbidity (Ko et al, 2024). Odada et al (2024) research on incision wound infections of cesarean section distinguishes infections based on the time of infection; the first infection is an infection that occurs when the patient is in the hospital with a total of 27%, the second infection that occurs during re-admission is 1%, and the largest infection case is after the patient is discharged from the hospital with an incidence rate of 71% (Zhang et al, 2023). Surgical wound infection (ILO) is one of the post-surgical complications that is a serious problem because it can increase morbidity and length of treatment, which will certainly increase costs, possibly resulting in disability to death (De La Tejera et al, 2023;Galosi et al, 2024;Peter & Ali Seif, 2022).…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) sets the average cesarean sections (CS) standard at 5-15% per 1000 births. However, cesarean section rates in private hospitals exceed 30%, compared to 11% in government hospitals. This study investigates the prevalence and complications of surgical wound infections post-cesarean section and the effectiveness of modern wound dressing techniques in reducing these infections. Data analysis reveals cesarean wound infections occur during hospitalization (27%), re-admission (1%), and post-discharge (71%). Surgical wound infections (SWI) significantly increase morbidity, treatment duration, and healthcare costs, with a direct death rate ranging from 3% to 75% globally. The study evaluated modern wound dressings adhering to "moist wound healing" principles, such as hydrocolloids, alginate, and foam, which maintain a moist environment to enhance epithelial cell proliferation, accelerate wound healing, and reduce scarring. Findings indicate that moist wound dressings significantly improve healing outcomes, promoting epithelialization and collagen synthesis, with techniques showing a 30-50% increase in epithelialization and a 2-5 times faster re-epithelialization rate. These results highlight the need for adopting advanced wound care techniques to reduce surgical wound infections and improve patient recovery post-cesarean section. The study implies that healthcare providers should integrate modern wound care practices to enhance maternal health outcomes globally.
