Abstract

Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the main causes of morbidity and death among patients who have undergone surgery, despite the fact that it may be prevented in some circumstances. Our goals are to find out which risk variables affect the surgical site infection (SSI) rate in a tertiary care setting and to look into the incidence of SSIs. The purpose of this research is to ascertain the many risk variables that impact the rate of surgical site infections (SSI) and to look into the prevalence of these illnesses. This is an observational study conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Deben Mahata Government Medical College and Hospital. Purulia 0. from July 2021 to June 2022. In our study, 8 (80.00%) patients had Superficial Incisional SSI and 2 (20.00%) patients had Deep Incisional SSI. In our study, 39 (39.00%) patients had General anesthesia and 61 (61.00%) patients had Spinal anesthesia. Surgical site infections are the third most common infection associated with hospitals, accounting for 14–16% of all infections that occur in inpatient settings. Surgical site infections are the most prevalent cause of surgical infections, making up 38% of all postoperative infections in patients who have had surgery.
