It was also more frequent the infection of the superficial operative place (55.5%) regarding the rest of the localizations. It was concluded that factors as the intervention contamination level, the long-lasting surgical time, preoperative physical state in the classes II and III of the American Society of Anesthesiology, operation type and the patient's age, were decisive in the emergence of postsurgical infections
