Our results (1) confirm the strong correlation between the probability of developing DWI and SSSI; (2) indicate that hematoma formation and persistent post-operative drainage increase the risk of SSSI. We hypothesize that post-operative monitoring of patients for hematoma and persistent drainage enables earlier intervention that may lower the risk of developing SSSI and subsequent DWI.
