Background: The incidence of cesarean section is increased. About 3–30% of the womenwho undergo cesarean experience surgical site infections (SSIs). Many methods, have beenused to decrease the incidence of SSIs, but despite much effort, no definite efficacious methodhas been suggested.Materials and Methods: In this parallel, single‑blinded, randomizedcontrol trial, 56 women with post‑surgical superficial wound dehiscence were divided into twogroups in a 1:1 ratio. One group was irrigated with normal saline for irrigation and Firooz®baby soapand the other with normal saline for irrigation and povidone‑iodine. Formation ofgranulation tissue was monitored in both groups. Also, the reason for surgery, length of wounddehiscence, and duration of hospitalization and wound union after were compared in bothgroup’s. Results: The soap group patients were irrigated for 4.18 ± 1.96 days comparedto 5.36 ± 2.83 days for the patients in povidone‑iodine group (P = 0.414). The granulationtissue was formed after 3.88 ± 1.94 days in the soap group compared to 4.48 ± 2.92 days inthe other group (P = 0.391), and the duration of hospitalization was 5.48 ± 2.04 days in thesoap group compared to 6.3 ± 2.95 days in the other group (P = 0.423). So, no differenceswere observed between the two groups. Conclusion: It can be concluded since there is nodifference between the results of two groups, irrigation with normal saline and soap is safe,easy and causes no harm or allergy compared with povidone iodine and normal saline.
