The second most common health care associated infection is the Surgical Site infection, which may increase morbidity and mortality rate among surgical patient and produce a greater influence on length of stay during hospitalization, readmission and economic cost. Method: A methodical literature investigation was conducted to recognize the extent of studies in relation to SSI. Procedural details of SSI, quality attributes in term of various components of SSI were assessed. Results: The incident rate reported in different countries shows divergent variation because of the numerous systems integrated in the epidemiological control of Hospital acquired Infection. Staphylococcus aureus is most frequent pathogen associated with SSI. Increased treatment cost is mostly associated with additional length of hospitalization and supplementary diagnostic testing’s, extra medication/antibiotic utilization and maybe any other minor surgical procedure in certain conditions. Conclusion: This Literature review elaborates the risk factors, classification, economical and clinical scenario and also demonstrates the treatment challenges in various perspectives.
