Abstract	Objective: This study aims to evaluate the contributing factors and associated risks of postoperative wound infections and dehiscence following gynecological and obstetric surgeries. It focuses on identifying at-risk women and outlining strategies to prevent these complications. Methods: A prospective observational analysis was conducted on 50 patients who developed postoperative wound infections or dehiscence. Each patient’s surgical, obstetric, and medical history, along with comorbidities, risk indicators, and duration of hospitalization, was closely examined to identify patterns contributing to surgical site infections (SSI). Results: The 25–30-year age group reported the highest incidence of infection, marking it as a high-risk demographic. Obstetric surgeries, particularly emergency cesarean sections, showed greater susceptibility to infections. Superficial SSIs were the most common postoperative complication observed. Diabetes mellitus was the most frequently associated comorbidity. Staphylococcus aureus was the dominant organism isolated. Most infections became evident between the third and fifth postoperative days.
