ReviewThe use of infection prevention practices in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
This review discusses recently published and relevant data on the preventive techniques used to reduce perioperative infections in urogynecologic procedures. ⋯ Good evidence-based practices to reduce or prevent infectious complications after procedures in female urology and urogynecology will save time, lower morbidity, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. However, there is still a great need for more level I evidence on infection prevention practices utilized in female urology and urogynecology.
