Abstract

Cesarean delivery (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. C-Section is one of the most common operative performed currently in Obstetric Practice. Post Caesarean section wound infection ranges from 3-16%. It can result in discharge from suture line, wound gaping and resulting in burst abdomen. For such an infected post C-Section wound (i.e Dushtavrana), we used a Swarasa of Parnabeeja herb (Bryophyllum pinnatum) for cleaning of wound and after that pooran of a parnabeeja kalka within that gaped site. The present case report shows 32 years’ female operated for Cesarean section & then wound get infected with pus discharge, huge gapping & foul smelling of discharge. After treatment & Re-suturing of that wound, she gets a complete relief & get discharge from hospital.
