    Objective: To analyze the evidence on effective interventions for the prevention of surgical wound infection. Materials and methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review. The search was restricted to full-text articles and the selected articles were critically read using the Grade System evaluation to identify their level of evidence. In the final selection, 10 articles were selected, 50% (5/10) systematic reviews, 50% (5/10) cohort studies. 40% of the evidence found comes from Spain, 40% from Peru, 10% from the USA, and 10% from Cuba. Results: 50% of the studies (8, 11, 13, 15, 16) recommend antibiotic prophylaxis, 20% of the studies (7, 11) recommend wound cleaning, and 20% of the studies (10, 13) recommend not removing hair. 10% of the studies (12), report that there is no difference between covering or not the wounds, and report that contaminated and dirty wounds are more likely to generate infection at the surgical site. Conclusions: According to reviewed articles it was confirmed that antibiotic prophylaxis (5/10) articles, wound cleaning (2/10) articles, not removing hair (2/10) articles, there is no difference between covering or not the wounds decrease the risk of infection at the surgical site (1/10) articles, and that contaminated and dirty wounds are more likely to generate infection at the surgical site.
