Abstract:

This article discusses three key indicators for evaluating the quality and complications of hernia and abdominal wall surgery： Surgical Site Infection （SSI）， Surgical Site Occurrence （SSO）， and Surgical Site Occurrences Requiring Procedural Interventions （SSOPI）.SSI is categorized into superficial，deep， and organ cavity infections， providing an in-depth understanding different infections severity.SSO includes wound-related events such as seroma and incision dehiscence， which expanding the definition of complications， but not fully reflect surgical quality.SSOPI focuses on complications requiring intervention but does not encompass non-surgical management.The Clavien-Dindo classification system serves as a more comprehensive tool that addresses multiple facets of surgical complications.However， it is necessary to establish a scoring system for adverse surgical events tailored to the actual situation in China， to further optimize postoperative management and individualized treatment.

Key words: Surgical site infection, Surgical site occurrence, Surgical site occurrences requiring procedural interventions, Hernia and abdominal wall surgery
