Types of Surgical Wounds | Surgical Wound Classification
Surgical wounds are classified into four main types based on their level of contamination: Clean wounds are uninfected with no inflammation and do not involve entry into the respiratory, gastrointestinal, genital, or urinary tracts, such as in knee replacement surgeries. Clean-contaminated wounds occur when these tracts are entered under controlled conditions without unusual contamination, like in a cholecystectomy. Contaminated wounds include open or accidental wounds, or surgeries with a major break in sterile technique, leading to a higher risk of infection, such as in surgeries involving intestinal spillage. Dirty or infected wounds already have clinical infections or involve perforated viscera, with a high presence of microorganisms, like in an abscess or perforated bowel.
