Abstract

Reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) after colorectal surgeries remains a key quality improvement target. The summative effect of multiple pre-, intra-, and post-operative interventions bundled as part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have been shown to effectively reduce SSIs, however the individual impact of each intervention has not been well-studied. This study evaluates the impact of clean closing tray use on the rate of SSIs in colorectal surgeries.
