BBASS explores all the elements that contribute to wound infection and what you as a surgeon can do to minimise infection. It requires attention to detail at every level – preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors will be identified. Surgical site infection is preventable.  BBASS offers an audit mechanism and ask the practicing surgeon to consider that anything less than a perfect wound costs time and money notwithstanding patient misery.
