ABSTRACT=Objectives
the aim of this brief report is to highlight the economic burden of surgical site infections (SSIs)
Methods
a narrative review focusing on this subject has been carried out 
Results
SSIs are responsible of important cost. In 2017, a French cohort highlighted a mean cost of each SSI treatment of around 1814 euros; the same year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines evaluated mean cost caused by SSI treatment from $10,443 to $25,546 per SSI. This cost depends on many factors including the patient himself and the type of surgery.
Conclusions 
prevention of the risk of infection is, therefore, a profitable concept for surgery that must be integrated within all the healthcare management worldwide
