(SSI) is the second most common infectious complication after urinary tract infection following a delivery by caesarean section (CS). A caesarean section (CS) is the most commonly performed major abdominal operation among women in both developing countries. The development of post CS infection depends on a complex interplay of many factors including: Age group, obesity, living area, duration of operation, shaving and hygiene, rupture of membrane, number of hospitalization days and previous caesarean section (Mpogoro, F, et al2014). Objective: To know the most common risk factor of surgical site infection after cesarean section to reduce the surgical site infection rate for cesarean section. quantitative retrospective, descriptive study was used to Methodology: study of 30 patients women readmitted for surgical site infection after caesarean sections at the four governmental hospitals (Tulkarm hospital, Rafidia hospital, Jinen hospital and medical complex in Ramallah).Researchers filled the questions using specific questionnaire which was build based on literature review and their experience, then fulfill the questionnaire from patients file from 1-1-2015 to 30-10-2015.

Conclusions : the most common potential risk factors occurrence of SSI after CS at our study were obesity , UTI , DM , previous CS , number of hospital day in first admission more than 2-3 day , duration of operation 30-60 mint , have nylon suture , membrane rupture , hair removed by patient .The main result highlighted the instruct personal hygein , decrees weight , decrees number of hospital day and duration of operation , do not use nylon suture and should hair be removed in surgical site by nurse .en_US
