Resumen
GARCIA-CASALLAS, Julio César et al. Prevention and treatment of surgical site infections in neurosurgery: state of the art. Iatreia [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.1, pp.39-58. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.23.
The adequate management of surgical wound infections in neurosurgery is fundamental for reducing the burden of morbidity and mortality in these patients. The suspicion and diagnostic confirmation associated with microbiological isolation are essential to ensure timely treatment and proper management of antibiotics. Therefore, in this review we present, in a synthetic manner, the main points for the prevention and treatment of surgical site infections in neurosurgery, which includes a section on the use of intrathecal/intraventricular antibiotics.
