Different risk factors may be involved  including age, sex, nutrition and immunity, prophylactic antibiotics, operation type and duration , type of shaving, and secondary infections.
The aim of the study is to determine the abdominal surgical site infections in surgical ward.
Risk factors associated with the abdominal surgical site infections.
 The most common causative organisms encountered and its sensitivity and resistence pattern in post operative wound infection.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
The study was conducted in Department of General Surgery, Mamata General Hospital, Khammam from October 2018 to September 2020. A total of 50 cases of abdominal surgeries which meet the inclusion criteria were included in the study.
RESULTS
Among 50 cases of abdominal surgeries underwent, 11 cases were infected. The incidence rate of  abdominal surgical site infection is 22%. Among 50 cases of abdominal surgeries underwent, 30 cases had Elective surgeries and 20 cases had Emergency surgeries. Among 11 abdominal surgical site infections, the organisms isolated were Pseudomonas, Staphylococci, Klebsiella, was  2 (28 .75%) each respectively, and E.Coli  was 1 (14.28%)
CONCLUSION
In present study we concluded that Incidence of abdominal surgical site infection was 22%.
