Description
Background and Objectives: Surgical site infections (SSI) still remains a significant problem following an operation and the third most frequently reported nosocomial infections accounting for 14 to 16% of all nosocomial infections. This study aims at determining the risk factors and incidence of surgical site infections. Methods: The material for the present study was obtained from patient’s undergone surgery in Department of General Surgery, JNKTMCH Madhepura, Study duration of two Years. Surgical site were considered to be infected according to the definition by NNIS. The wounds were classified according to the wound contamination class system proposed. Results: A study of 400 operated cases was carried out of which 39 were diagnosed to be having surgical site infection as per the CDC criteria. Thus the incidence of SSI in this study is 9.75%. Conclusion: Incidence of surgical site infection was more in emergency surgery case as compare to elective.
