[Anaerobic gangrene in the edges of a segmental hysterotomy. Severe infectious complication of a cesarean section. Sequelae. Apropos of a recent case].
The infection of the edges of a hysterotomy wound by anaerobic bacteria is a very rare and dangerous complication of Caesarean section. Early surgical intervention with trimming of the edges and the institution of drainage together with suitable antibiotic treatment led to recovery. A second pregnancy, which unfortunately ended with a premature delivery, resulted after this conservative surgical procedure.
