Surgical site infection (SSI) Disease Understanding
Surgical Site infections (SSI) are the infections following an invasive surgical procedure and are the most frequently reported hospital-acquired infections (HAI). SSI is a type of hospital-acquired infection (HAI) that arises following surgery and it is related to the surgical site. Currently, SSI is defined as an infection that happens within 30 days of the operation if no implant is left in place or within a year of operation if an implant is left in place.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a definition for SSI as 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.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], a surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. Surgical site infections can sometimes be superficial infections involving the skin only. Other surgical site infections are more serious and can involve tissues under the skin, organs, or implanted material.
The most common types of inpatient surgical procedures include cesarean section, orthopedic procedures (hip and knee replacement, hip fracture repair), neurosurgical procedures (spinal fusion and laminectomy), and intraabdominal procedures (cholecystectomy and colorectal resections). Increasing numbers of patients also undergo surgery at ambulatory surgery centers (facilities specifically designed for certain types of surgery after which the patient can be discharged home directly).
SSIs occur in a very few percentage of the patients undergoing inpatient surgical procedures. Although most infections are treatable with antibiotics, SSIs remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after surgery. They are the leading cause of readmissions to the hospital following surgery and a few patients who contract an SSI die as a consequence.
