Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a significant source of postoperative morbidity throughout the world. Surgeons operating in resource-poor areas face the added challenges of patient malnutrition, inconsistent access to antimicrobials and underdeveloped patient and bacterial resistance surveillance systems. Nonetheless, adherence to sound surgical principles and proper antimicrobial stewardship can help reduce the burden of SSIs.
