Abstract
Two preoperative male patients are scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass procedures. Both patients have hairy chest. Surgeon A orders preoperative removal of hair for his patient directly before surgery with clippers, and surgeon B does not order hair removal for his patient. Based on the literature, which preoperative hair removal practice will be most beneficial to avoid a surgical site infection?
