Background: The term "surgical site infection" (SSI) was introduced in 1992 to replace the previous term "surgical wound infection." SSIs are defined as infections that occur within 30 days after a surgical operation and affect either the incision or deep tissue at the operation site.Hence; the present study was conducted to evaluate incidence of surgical site infections. Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study focused on 100 patients undergoing clean and clean-contaminated surgeries across various surgical departments. Patients admitted for elective or emergency surgeries falling under the category of clean or clean-contaminated procedures were included in the study, while contaminated or dirty (infected) surgeries were excluded. Data analysis was done using SSPS software. Results: Of the total 100 patients who underwent surgery in the hospital, amongst them 6 (6%) developed SSI.Hence; the incidence of SSI was 6 percent. Conclusion: Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) stand as a leading cause of nosocomial infections, exerting a substantial impact on patient health outcomes, including heightened morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and increased treatment expenses.
