Abstract

Purulent-inflammatory complications developing after cesarean section remain one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and complications in obstetric practice. Despite the widespread use of antibiotic therapy, the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and biofilm formation significantly limits treatment effectiveness. This literature review analyzes scientific studies published over the past five years and highlights the potential of a comprehensive approach based on phage therapy in the treatment of post-cesarean purulent-inflammatory complications. The high specificity of bacteriophages, their ability to disrupt biofilms, and their synergistic effect with antibiotics make them a promising therapeutic option for the management of postoperative infections.
