Surgical glove perforation in caesarean section and its association with surgical site infections: a prospective cohort study
Our data show that glove perforation is unexpectedly common and underestimated in terms of unfavorable surgical outcomes. The rate of surgical site infections is increasing and we suggest that unrecognized glove perforation must be considered as a risk factor for surgical site infection after cesarean section.
