Surgical infections are types of infections that occur as a result of surgical procedures. They can range from minor infections at the site of the surgical incision to more serious infections that affect deeper tissues or organs. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens that enter the body during surgery. Preventing surgical infections is a critical aspect of patient safety in healthcare settings. Proper sterile techniques, antibiotic prophylaxis, and postoperative wound care are important measures to minimize the risk of surgical infections. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and other interventions to address the specific type of infection and its severity. Research in the field of surgical infections focuses on understanding the risk factors, mechanisms of infection, and strategies for prevention and treatment. This research aims to improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgical procedures and to reduce the burden of healthcare-associated infections.
