Avoidable severe morbidity from wound dehiscence after cesarean section: Practice and experience from a tertiary referral hospital in a low-income setting, Tanzania—a mixed-methods study
Complete wound dehiscence after cesarean section was highly associated with a suboptimal surgical technique, an ineffective structure and process of clinical skill transfer, and negative experience of care from patients and their families. The identified serious and preventable gaps in the quality of cesarean section stemmed from modifiable clinical and educational practices.
