Abstract: Infection at or near surgical incisions within 30 days of an operative procedure, dubbed surgical site infection, contributes substantially to surgical morbidity and mortality each year. This review will summarize several additional evidence-based strategies to prevent SSIs, will define the SSI to understand more pathology. Conducted a detailed search among electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google scholar, searching in literature for articles related to strategies reducing surgical site infections. Studies were included as publication up to 2017, September with English language and human subject. SSI continues to be the most common complication following colon and rectal surgery procedures and is related to significant morbidity, death, and increased expenses in health care. Evidence-based strategies-- improving antimicrobial prophylaxis dosing, preparing the colon with mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotics, optimizing tissue oxygenation, and utilizing a surgical safety checklist, could help high performing hospitals and healthcare providers move beyond SCIP to ensure that they supply the best care possible to their surgical patients and decrease the rate of SSI.
Keywords: surgical site infection, surgical morbidity, pathology, health care.
