ABSTRACT

Surgical site infection represents a major problem for the health systems of any country. They are the main complication at the general level of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI Surveillance of such problems is of utmost importance in order to identify and prevent their presentation. There are several factors that must be taken into account, one of the main ones is to correctly identify these complications using a standardized definition, in order to identify and classify them. There must be properly structured surveillance systems to correctly detect the number and type of infections. Assistance personnel, managers and users must be kept informed of the results of said surveillance.
