Summary
Surgical site infections (SSI) are costly complications that may cause significant morbidity and increase the cost of care, particularly in colorectal surgery. Microbial sealants (MS) are a new class of wound barriers aimed at decreasing SSI, however there is only evidence of benefit in clean Class 1 procedures. Based on its success in Class 1 procedures, we hypothesized that a microbial sealant could reduce the rate of SSI by half for clean contaminated colorectal procedures (Class 2).
