Resumen
RODRIGUEZ FERNANDEZ, Zenén; FERNANDEZ LOPEZ, Olga; MAREN, Giraldo Ochoa y ROMERO GARCIA, Lázaro Ibrahim. Some considerations about postoperative infections. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2017, vol.56, n.2, pp. 46-58. ISSN 1561-2945.
The rate of postoperative infective complications increases in the surgical patient due, among other reasons, to poor knowledge on the genesis of causative factors. This significantly raises their level of persistence and the negative consequences for the patient, the health institution and the health system; hence the need of delving into the different cognitive aspects of this topic. This updated review was intended to clarify the fundamental aspects of their genesis, diagnosis and preventive and curative treatment with a view to reducing morbidity and mortality from this terrible post surgical complication.
