Abstract :Objectives: To compare preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively the maternal and ne-onatal outcomes of normal-weight, obese and morbid obese pregnant women who delivered by cesarean section in our clinic. Methods: This study retrospectively included 151 singleton pregnancies delivered at ≥37 weeks of gestation by cesarean section. Demographic, clinical and neonatal results of the patients were not-ed and compared between the groups. Results: Among the pregnant women included in this study, length of postoperative hospital stay and presence of chronic diseases were determined to be significantly higher in the morbid obese group compared with other groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In the morbid obese group, the average infant birth weight and the number of infants monitored due to respiratory distress as a neonatal complication were determined to be significantly higher insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The presence of pregnancy complications, particularly the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia were found to be signif-icantly higher in the morbid obese group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusions: We determined that the incidence of maternal and neonatal complications increases as the body mass index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI); increases. Therefore, it is evident that monitoring the BMI and pre-venting obesity would be effective in avoiding complications.Keywords : Cesarean section, maternal obesity, maternal complication, neonatal complication
