Abstract

Wound infections continue to be a substantial contributor to postoperative morbidity, responsible for around one-fourth of all nosocomial infections. The human bacteria from the endogenous organ microflora and the extrinsic environment continue to have a role in the development of wound infections. The development of postoperative wound infection has been linked to several different perioperative variables that have been studied in detail.  Numerous studies have shown that several surgical procedures are more susceptible to postoperative infection complications because of individual risk factors. The majority of patient- and procedure-related variables have been identified to influence the likelihood of surgical site infections in univariate or multivariate analysis. Preexisting infection, older age, and other dangerous pathogens, smoking, and diabetes is also possible patient-related variables.  Procedure-related variables include the length of the surgery, the quality of preoperative skin preparation and poor surgical skill. The goal of this study was to recognize the incidence of postoperative surgical wound infections, which is influenced by patient and surgical technique parameters.
