Abstract
In Morocco cesarean section rate has increased from 2% in 1992 to 16% in 2011. This was associated with increased per- and postoperative mortality and morbidity, which was 19% in our case series. This study is the first of its kind to be conducted in the eastern region of Morocco and aims to analyze the comprehensive epidemiologic profile of maternal complications related to cesarean section on the basis of 2417 cases observed in the Maternity Department at the El Farabi Hospital, Oujda. We conducted an observational, descriptive, retrospective study of a series of 2416 patients undergoing cesarean section in the Maternity Department at the El Farabi Hospital, Oujda, over the period 1 January 2011-31 December 2013. Out of 24464 deliveries, 2416 were cesarean sections, reflecting a rate of 9.87%. The frequency of complications related to cesarean section was 19.45%. Postoperative complications accounted for 63.6% of the complications dominated by infection. Haemorrhagic complications accounted for 25.53% of all complications. 4 cases of maternal deaths were recorded. If the increased rate of cesarean sections has contributed to improve maternal-fetal prognosis, the surgical act itself is not complication-free, which leads us to review its indications for improved patient management.Entities:
