AB  - A  surgical  site  infection  (SSI)  is  an  infection  related  to  an  operative  procedure  that  occurs  at  or  near  the  surgical  incision  within  30  days  of  the  procedure,  or  within  90  days  if  prosthetic  material  is  implanted  at  surgery.1  SSIs  are  classified  into  incisional  (superficial/deep)  or  organ/space  infections  (Table  110–1A).1  According  to  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (CDC),  prevalence  survey  in  183  acute  care  hospitals  in  the  United  States,  SSIs  and  pneumonia  were  the  most  common  health-care-associated  infections.2  Also  the  National  Healthcare  Safety  Network  (NHSN)  data  for  2006  to  2008  reported  the  overall  SSI  rate  was  1.9%  (16,147  SSIs  following  849,659  operative  procedures).3  The  aim  of  antimicrobial  prophylaxis  is  to  prevent  SSI  by  reducing  the  burden  of  microorganisms  at  the  surgical  site  during  the  operative  procedure,4  and  ultimately  to  prevent  related  morbidity  and  mortality.  Indications  for  antimicrobial  prophylaxis,  antibiotic  selection,  timing,  and  dosing  are  reviewed.
