Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgical-site infection is an open issue in emergency general surgery. Evidence shows that surgical-site infection is most common in emergency surgery involving organ perforation. Even after improving the development of modern surgical techiques (e.g., a laparoscopic approach instead of laparotomic), hygienic measures, awareness in health-associated infections, and modern antibiotics regimens, the prevention of surgical-site infection would still be a matter of debate. Surgical-site infection is a multifactorial issue, related to patient’s characteristics (such as age, immunological state, comorbidities) and tge environment (such as antibiotic resistance) which can influence the choice of the best antibiotic. Therefore, the main subject of this Special Issue includes the possibility of preventing surgical-site infection according to patient needs, surgical treatment, and specific environment.
