Study Examines Risk Factors For Infection In Closed Surgical Wounds

Dermatology Advisor (5/18, May) reports that "defect size and the use of complex layered closure are associated with higher risks for infections in closed surgical wounds of the lower extremities, according to study research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology." Dermatology Advisor says "for each 1cm2 increase in defect size, the investigators observed a 1.2-times higher risk for infection." The researchers concluded that a surgical site infection "on the lower extremity may be reduced by avoiding complex closures, or limiting wound size, which can be achieved through Mohs micrographic surgery."
