Abstract
Less than 5% of dermatological surgeries reported in the literature have adverse effects that lead to infection, considered the
most common complication in this type of surgery. Although uncommon, surgical site infections have a high impact on the
hospitalization time and on the financial costs related to postoperative complications [1].
