Every surgeon should have a thorough knowledge and awareness of the general principles of postoperative infections. The key to postoperative infections is in their prevention. Even with the most prudent and ardent regimens, however, postoperative wound infections will occasionally occur. Thus, the aforementioned knowledge will allow an improved clinical acumen and permit the early diagnosis of postoperative infection. Early and vigorous local wound care combined with systemic antibiotics are necessary to minimize the potentially debilitating sequelae of the postoperative wound infection.
每位外科医生都应全面了解并认识术后感染的一般原则。术后感染的关键在于预防。然而，即便采用最为谨慎和积极的治疗方案，术后伤口感染仍偶尔会发生。因此，上述知识将有助于提高临床敏锐度，并实现术后感染的早期诊断。早期积极的局部伤口护理与全身使用抗生素相结合，对于将术后伤口感染可能导致的虚弱后遗症降至最低是必要的。
