In a normal delivery, endometrium is in open contact with a "infected" cavity (vagina), and for thousand or years it was not a problem, till doctors began to do births, as Semmelweis demonstrate. About abdominal wall, not all of the abdominal surgery procedures needs prophylaxis and most of c-section are one of them.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
