title: Operative wound infection.
abstract: Wound infection is the commonest complication after operation and frequently gives rise to complex problems which may be very difficult to manage and prevention is most desired. For successful prevention, one must understand the pathogenesis of wound infection and follow strictly the regulations or precautions of aseptic and operative techniques to minimize contamination which consequently will reduce the incidence of post operative wound infection.
