Surgical Infections
##semicolon##
A suture abscess or stitch abscess is an abscess at the suture site only and is not considered an SSI. Remote infections resulting from surgery but not involving the surgical site are called surgical patient infections.8 An example of a surgical patient infection is pneumonia or a urinary tract infection in a patient who underwent an appendectomy.##article.abstract##
As for all surgical procedures, infection is an important complication. Surgical site infection with intrathecal device placement may present as meningitis, epidural or subdural abscess, and/or encephalitis. The preventive measurements such as showering with chlorhexidine soap, staphylococcal colonization detection and decolonization, and for patients at risk, a preoperative consultation with an infectious disease specialist may be necessary.
