    Surgical site infections are infections that occur after a surgical procedure and generally within 30 days. They can present with local signs like redness, pain, swelling at the surgical site or systemic symptoms like fever. Risk factors include patient health issues, the type and duration of surgery, and the environment. Infections are classified as superficial affecting the skin and fat, deep penetrating the fascia and muscle, or organ/space involving deep organs. Treatment involves antibiotics and sometimes further surgical intervention to prevent mortality which can be up to 3% from surgical site infections.
