Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2424665e36">Surgical site infection remains the most common
complication of gynecologic procedures.
Reducing surgical site infections has become a priority in the United States as part
of a strong national commitment to measuring processes and improving outcomes of care
for surgery. Implementing programs to reduce surgical site infections requires a collaborative
approach that involves clinicians, nurses, and staff. The purpose of this document
is to review the recommended interventions, including antibiotic prophylaxis, used
to prevent infection after gynecologic procedures.
