This review summarizes evidence-based perioperative strategies and SCIP guidelines to prevent surgical-site infections and postoperative complications in colorectal surgery.
Colon and rectal resections are among the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. Complication rates of up to 25% have been reported and result in a substantial impact on quality of life and cost of care. Recently, the Surgical Care Improvement Program (SCIP) has promoted guidelines to prevent postoperative and potentially preventable complications. A comprehensive evidenced-based review of these guidelines and other perioperative strategies for practicing colorectal surgeons is the basis of this review.
