Clean Surgery Prophylaxis

Clean Surgery Prophylaxis is a surgical prophylaxis strategy that belongs to the class of preventive interventions in perioperative care, specifically distinguished by its application in clean surgical procedures—defined as uninfected, non-traumatic surgeries with no entry into hollow viscera and involving minimal or no break in sterile technique—where the primary aim is to prevent surgical site infections through targeted antimicrobial administration based on established guidelines and risk assessment.
