Aim: To compare the preventative effect of the new antiseptic olanexidine gluconate (OLG) with conventional antiseptics on surgical site infections (SSIs) in gastroenterological surgery.
Methods: A comprehensive electronic literature search was conducted through November 2024 to identify studies comparing the occurrence of SSIs between OLG and conventional antiseptics (Conv), including povidone-iodine (PI) or chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), for incisional site disinfection. The primary outcomes were the occurrence of overall SSI and incisional SSI (including superficial and deep incisional SSI).
