Appropriate measures of infection prevention and management are integral to optimal clinical practice and standards of care. Among surgeons, these measures are often over-looked. However, surgeons are at the forefront in preventing and managing infections. Surgeons are responsible for many of the processes of healthcare that impact the risk for surgical site infections and play a key role in their prevention. Surgeons are also at the forefront in managing patients with infections, who often need prompt source control and appropriate antibiotic therapy, and are directly responsible for their outcome. In this context, the direct leadership of surgeons in infection prevention and management is of utmost importance. In order to disseminate worldwide this message, the editorial has been translated into 9 different languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Turkish).
适当的感染预防和管理措施是最佳临床实践和护理标准的组成部分。在外科医生中，这些措施经常被忽视。然而，外科医生处于预防和管理感染的最前沿。外科医生负责许多影响手术部位感染风险的医疗保健流程，并在预防感染方面发挥着关键作用。外科医生还处于管理感染患者的最前沿，这些患者通常需要及时的源头控制和适当的抗生素治疗，并直接负责他们的治疗结果。在这种情况下，外科医生在感染预防和管理方面的直接领导至关重要。为了在全球范围内传播这一信息，社论已被翻译成 9 种不同的语言（阿拉伯语、中文、法语、德语、意大利语、葡萄牙语、西班牙语、俄语和土耳其语）。
