postoperative infections, regardless of whether or not they are directly related to surgery, have a dramatic impact on the morbidity, mortality, and cost of surgery. With an emphasis on prevention and treatment, the author reviews infectious complications that may be encountered with any type of surgery and those that are unique to certain procedures and settings.
