Participant Flow
Patients recruited in the Parkland Hospital Maternal-Fetal Medicine High Risk Clinic, on the Antepartum Floor, in Labor and Delivery, and in the preoperative holding area. January 2015 until July 2016. 850 screened. See Figure 1 Flow Diagram.
Patients were excluded for pre-specified exclusion criteria and if they delivered vaginally after consent was obtained. 850 patients were screened. 173 declined participation, 5 withdrew consent, 2 delivered at outside facility, 211 delivered vaginally, 10 did not meet inclusion criteria, and 8 not identified to be enrolled.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
After standard cesarean section completed patients will have Prevena negative pressure wound therapy system placed.
Negative pressure wound therapy: Single use negative pressure wound therapy systems are composed of a pressure pump and dressing kit. The pump creates a negative pressure of 125 mmHg (+/- 20 mgHg) and the dressing directly covers surgical incision. The system is battery-powered and designed to be used for a minimum of two days and a maximum of seven days of continuous use. The investigators hypothesize that negative pressure wound therapy will decrease the wound complications in these patients. The investigators will be using Prevena Incision Management System as the negative pressure device in our study.
