In group I, dressing with chlorhexidine acetate and bandage were applied immediately following ovariohysterectomy operation and removed on day 3. No additional application was applied until removing the surgical sutures. In group II, same dressing material and bandage were applied and replaced with same materials on day 3. The replacement dressing material and bandage were removed on day 6. In group III, istead of dressing with chlorhexidine acetate and bandage, daily dressing with betadine was applied as postoperative care.
