The increasing incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) following caesarean sections highlights the necessity for updated protocols that address risk factors throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and hydrocolloid dressings have demonstrated potential for improving wound management and reducing complications, particularly by enhancing dressing integrity. Nevertheless, the application of NPWT requires careful consideration and adherence to local trust guidelines to ensure both its safety and efficacy.
