A study of wound infections following inguinal hernia repair
J Hosp Infect.
1994 Oct.
Abstract
A prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of wound infection following surgery for inguinal hernia repair in a day surgery unit. The study incorporated surveillance for 1 month postoperatively. All patients were contacted by telephone, and reports of possible wound infection investigated via their General Practitioners. Ninety-seven patients were included in the study and the infection rate was 4%.
