A prospective survey of wound infection in a continuous series of 357 patients undergoing operations at a neurosurgical unit was made. The incidence of wound infection was 4.7 percent. Causative organisms were isolated in only 29.4 percent of the clinically infected cases. The type of suture material used did not affect the infection rate and neither did the coincidental use of steroids in the high doses employed in neurosurgical practice. Re-exploration does not carry an increased risk of infection. Use of systemic or topical antibiotics or both was not found to confer any protection against wound infection.
对某神经外科单元连续357例接受手术患者的伤口感染情况进行了前瞻性调查。伤口感染发生率为4.7%。仅在29.4%的临床感染病例中分离出了致病微生物。所用缝合材料的类型并未影响感染率，神经外科实践中使用的高剂量类固醇同时使用也未产生影响。再次探查并不会增加感染风险。未发现使用全身性或局部性抗生素或两者同时使用能对伤口感染起到任何预防作用。
