Routine Shaving of the Surgical Site 

Introduction

            The surgical site infection is among the most common infections that are associated with health care among the hospitalized and surgical patients. Therefore this is a “significant source of morbidity and mortality, as well as extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs” (Preoperative hair removal, 2009, p.1). Considering the monetary as well as the non-monetary costs associated with the surgical site infection, together with coming up and spreading of the antibiotic resistant bacteria and the pain and suffering that the patient experiences, there has been shifting of the focus of the surgical site infection initiatives to prevention away from treatment. All the surgical team members have to therefore have the awareness about the risk factors for surgical site infections and ensure there is implementation of the infection prevention strategies that are effective.
