Abstract: The quality of solid organ transplantation has been improved significantly in China in recent years. However, surgical site infection (SSI) is still a main factor affecting the survival of solid organ transplantation recipients. With the joint efforts of experts in fields of organ transplantation, infectious diseases, critical care medicine, laboratory medicine and clinical pharmacy, this expert consensus systematically summarizes the experiences of SSI management in solid organ transplantation in China, focusing on basic management principles, epidemiology, risk factors, special pathogen infection and diagnostic techniques of SSI. It aims to standardize the prevention measures of SSI in transplantation centers to reduce the incidence and mortality of SSI in solid organ transplantation recipients.
