Surgical Site Infections (SSI) are infections that occur post-surgery at the surgical site, categorized into superficial, deep, and organ/space infections. Key risk factors include patient-related, procedure-related, and environmental factors, with common pathogens being bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
