Abstract

Introduction: The hospitals as well as the patient are negatively affected by surgical site infections (SSI), which are the third most frequently reported nosocomial infection. Hence it is necessary to carry out continuous surveillance for monitoring of the occurrence of surgical site infection. Surgical site infections (SSIs) can be prevented and are a significant financial burden in addition to increasing morbidity and death. Strong surveillance systems for these healthcare-associated illnesses are required because surgical site infection (SSI) rates are a good indicator of the standard of surgical and postoperative treatment.
