The following measures can be taken to avoid surgical-site infections and keep surgery bills low:

• Pre-operative sanitization: Prior to surgery, the surgical equipment and the surgical theatre should be adequately sanitized to reduce the risk of infection.
• Surgical team hygiene: The surgical team must wash their hands frequently and wear sterilized clothing to reduce the risk of infection.
• Patient preparation: Patients should be thoroughly examined and screened for any underlying infections before the surgery. They should be instructed to undergo adequate pre-operative preparation.
• Use of antibiotics: Antibiotics should be given before and after the surgery to prevent any bacterial infections.
• Reduced operating time: Reducing the duration of surgery can reduce the risk of infections and keep the surgery bill low.
• Post-operative care: Patients should be provided with adequate post-operative care, including clean and sterile dressing, to reduce the risk of infections.

By implementing these measures, surgical-site infections can be avoided, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and lower medical bills.
