Abstract:
Source control includes all the physical inter-ventious to treat surgical infection. The main procedures are drainage of abscesses, debridement of nonviable or infected tissue and definitive management of the anatomic abnormality which is responsible for ongoing microbial contamination. The new concept of damage control surgery expedites the wide use of percutaneous drainage of abcess and abdominal open surgery. Second-look laparotomy is another damage control procedure for the eradication of surgical infection. Surgical infection could hardly be controled without effective source control measures. Source control plays a key role in the management of surgical infection.
