A surgical wound infection, sometimes called a surgical site infection, occurs at the site of a surgical incision.[1] The term assumes that no clinically evident infection was at the site prior to the procedure.
Quality improvement has not identified specific techniques for reducing the incidence, other than good surgical practice.[2]
Prevention
Clinical practice guidelines are available.[3]
Site preparation
In "clean-contaminated surgery" (defined as "colorectal, small intestinal, gastroesophageal, biliary, thoracic, gynecologic, or urologic operations performed under controlled conditions without substantial spillage or unusual contamination"[4]), chlorhexidine–alcohol may be better than povidone–iodine in preventing surgical wound infection.[4]
Topical collagen-gentamicin sponges placed in sternotomy wounds may not reduce infections[5] in spite of a prior positive randomized controlled trial[6].
