Data on surgeon-specific feedback on surgical site infection (SSI) rates are not currently available in Thailand. The authors conducted a before and after study among patients undergoing surgery in seven Thai hospitals to examine whether a feedback system to surgeons could reduce SSI rates. After a six-month surveillance period, surgeons were provided with their own SSI rates and standardized i...

متن کاملThe impact of nonwound site infection on surgical wound healing
Wound healing is the result of a complex synergistic series of biomolecular activity that can be altered by numerous factors. One such factor is infection. If the infection occurs at the surgical site, it is clear that the normal process is destroyed, interrupted or at best retarded. However, little is known of the effects of nonwound site infection on the healing process. This review evaluates...
