ObjectiveTo realize surgical site infection (SSI) following gynecological surgical procedure, analyze the possible risk factors, and explore effective measures on reducing the incidence of SSI.MethodsFrom January 1 to December 31,2011, patients receiving abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, and laparoscopic hysterectomy in two gynecological departments of a hospital were monitored, SSI rates before intervention(from January 1 to June 30,2011, control group) and after intervention(from July 1 to December 31,2011, intervention group) were analyzed and compared.ResultsA total of 1 120 patients were in control group, including 648 cases of abdominal hysterectomy, SSI rate was 4.94%; 212 vaginal hysterectomy, SSI rate was 9.43%; 260 laparoscopic hysterectomy, there was no SSI; the average SSI rate in two departments was 4.64%(52/1 120), SSI rate between two departments was not significantly different(5.38% vs 4.00%, χ2=1.206，P＞0.05）, the average SSI rate in intervention group was significantly lower than control group (1.57%［20/1 272］ vs 4.64%, χ2=19.23，P＜0.001）.ConclusionThrough targeted monitor, risk factors are analyzed, intervention measures are performed,and SSI can be reduced.
