尽管几十年来医学治疗的关注和进步，手术部位感染（SSI）仍然是我们患者的一个重要问题。令人惊讶的是，在过去的50年里，报道的SSI发病率并没有明显的变化，尽管毫不奇怪的是诊断时间（住院与门诊）发生了变化。虽然患者的后果没有逃过我们的注意，直到最近与SSI相关的费用一直难以确定。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了SSI监测的相关历史、发生率以及与该并发症相关的成本和后果。
Despite decades of attention and advances in medical treatments, surgical site infections (SSI) remain a significant problem to our patients. Surprisingly, the reported incidence of SSI has not changed appreciably in the past five decades, although not surprisingly the timing to diagnosis (inpatient vs. outpatient) has changed. Although the patient consequences have not escaped our notice, until recently the costs associated with SSI have been difficult to ascertain. In this review, we discuss the relevant history of SSI monitoring, the incidence as well as the costs and consequences associated with this complication.
