Objectives of the study: The basic theme of the study was to analyse the risk factors of surgical site infection among female patients undergoing cesarean section. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Health department Punjab during 2018 to 2019. The data was collected on the basis of demographic factor and social factors of the patients. We collected all the information related to medical record, body mass index, age, number of child’s, anesthesia techniques during surgery, blood loss due to surgery and incidence of infection. Results: We collect the data of 200 females from the hospital and these all females undergo C-section for delivery. Some of them get spinal anesthesia and some get general anesthesia. They belong to different sociological background. The mean age of selected sample size was 20 to 45 years and mean weight was 40 to 120kg. According to analysis of result almost 7% received general anesthesia and 3.25% received epidural and spinal anesthesia.
