Abstract
SSI is the most common postoperative
complication in the world across all income and developing settings, accounting
for 2-11% of all surgical interventions. It increases the healthcare burden on
families. Modern surgical practice aims to reduce the incidence of surgical
site infection. Very few interventions are known to be effective in preventing
SSI with a weak evidence base for interventions in clinical guidelines for best
practice. The present study is aimed at determining the efficacy of changing
gloves and instruments at the time of abdominal closure in preventing surgical
site infection.
