Summary

In general, transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound represent the first imaging method in the study of suspected postpartum infections because of its good sensitivity, low cost, and high safety for patients (in fact, it allows the patient to be studied at the bedside, even in clinically unstable patients, it is well tolerated by patients, and it has no risks). CT has an excellent sensitivity in the diagnosis of postpartum infections, however, it has some drawbacks: it is not an examination that can be performed in clinically unstable patients, it cannot be performed at the patient's bedside, it has high costs, and it involves the administration of a significant dose of radiation . There are conflicting data in the literature regarding which examination is most useful for the diagnosis/management of infections in postpartum. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate whether ultrasound alone, compared with management with combined ultrasound and CT scan, is a useful and sufficient diagnostic tool for the diagnosis and management of postpartum infectious complications.
