Surgical infections therapy involves a surgical procedure-debridement, drainage, or surgical infections drug therapy. Antibiotics plat a preventive role. They are best administered immediately before the operation in a specific manner insuring the tissue level during the incision. All the therapeutic tissue concentrations must be maintained throughout the period of potential inflectional contamination but not 24 hours after the surgery.

Maintaining strict hygiene of aseptic and antiseptic procedures reduce the possible risk of surgical wound infections. But unfortunately contamination during the surgery can be inevitable, as lots of the bacteria causing infections originate within the human body. Postoperative host defence is considered to be the major factor to determine whether the surgical patient becomes infected. That is why it is very important to pay proper attention to surgical infections prevention.
