Abstract :
Surgical Site Infection is the contamination of a surgical wound site that occurs within 30 days of an operative procedure and involves the skin, subcutaneous tissue or organ space of the manipulated site. It can be primary or secondary, minor or major, and purulent versus non purulent. The New CDC-definitions classify surgical site infections (SSI) into three broad categories – superficial, deep incision and organ space SSI.
