Abstract
A number of perioperative risk factors may suppress the immune system and contribute to the development of post-operative complications. The association between surgical site infection (SSI) and other wound-related complications resulting from immunosuppression through either perioperative administration of dexamethasone, pre-operative smoking or alcohol abuse is, however, uncertain.
