Prompt and accurate diagnosis of surgical site infections (SSIs) is important for patient management and facility infection control. Identifying infections promptly allows for early intervention. Differentiation of SSI from inflammation helps avoid unnecessary treatment.

Therefore, SSI surveillance is a critical area for any surgeon, surgical team, and facility.
