Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a significant complication in healthcare, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. Their multifactorial etiology encompasses patient-related factors, microbial contamination, and surgical technique. SSIs are broadly classified into superficial, deep incisional, and organ/space infections, each with distinct clinical implications. This article explores the causes, various types, and comprehensive prevention strategies for surgical infections. The primary goal is to reduce the incidence of SSIs, thereby improving patient outcomes and lowering healthcare costs through effective prophylactic measures.
