As one of the most common healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), SSIs not only increase patient morbidity and mortality but also impose substantial financial burdens on healthcare systems. This article provides a comprehensive review of advancements in SSI prevention, emphasizing the critical role of nursing protocols across preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care phases. Evidence-based strategies, challenges in implementation, and future directions are explored, alongside the pivotal role of multidisciplinary teams in addressing these infections. Through structured protocols, continuous training, and patient-centered approaches, nurses can effectively mitigate SSI risks and improve surgical outcomes.
