description Infections after surgical procedures can cause pain, poor wound healing, need for further treatment including antibiotics, longer hospital stays, and increased health care costs. Postoperative infections may cause severe problems, including failure of the surgical procedure, other surgical complications, sepsis, organ failure, and even death. Some persons are at higher risk of developing postoperative infections than others. Ways to try to prevent these types of infections include giving antibiotics before a procedure, when appropriate; making sure the patient is in the best condition possible before elective surgery; using an antiseptic solution to "prep" the area around a surgical incision; maintaining sterility of the surgical area and operating tools; and having operating room staff wear clean scrub clothes, hats, and masks. Here, Torpy discusses the risk factors for postoperative infection and how to prevent postoperative infection.
