Could a simple shot of gentamicin during C-Sections stop infections?
NCT ID NCT07311395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether giving a single injection of the antibiotic gentamicin into the surgical wound during a planned C-section can reduce the risk of infection afterward. Researchers will compare 100 women who receive this extra local antibiotic plus standard IV antibiotics to those who get standard care alone. Participants are followed for 30 days to check for wound infections and other complications.

Active substance
gentamicin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to prevent wound infections after planned C-sections.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. The added benefit over standard antibiotics alone is uncertain, and there is a risk of allergic reactions or side effects from gentamicin.
