Özet

Background: The global rise in infectious disease has led the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to release new guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infection. Methods: In this article, we summarize current recommendations based on level of evidence, review unresolved and unaddressed issues, and supplement them with new literature. Results: Although the guidelines discuss major issues in reducing surgical site infection, many questions remain unanswered. Conclusion: These guidelines will hopefully help in setting a standard of care based on best evidence available and focus investigators on areas where evidence is lacking. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
