Résumé
Surgical site infections are a burden to patients, families and healthcare systems. Preoperative preparation is a crucial part in the multifaceted approach to SSI prevention. Preoperative bathing is a customary procedure that is seemingly straightforward yet challenging to implement. On the basis of best-practices and lived experience, this essay identifies potential barriers and presents several recommendations for improvement of preoperative preventive measures.
