Although surgical site infections (SSIs) can result in high rates of morbidity, as well as extend hospital costs and treatment, they qualify among the most common postoperative complications all over the world. This study seeks to assess the impact of an improved clinical pathway in the provision of services to reduce SSIs in gynecological surgery patients. A cross-sectional study was done at SAHARA MEDICAL COLLEGE Narowal where 200 patients who had been scheduled for elective gynecological surgeries were enrolled at a tertiary hospital. The package encompassed an improved clinical pathway consisting of preoperative assessment and preparation, provision of standardized prophylactic antibiotics, and postoperative follow-up. The p value showed a valuable drop in the SSI rate as it went from 15% tipped to 5% at the lowest p-value of 0.01. Overall length of stay in the hospital also improved statistically from 5.3 days to 3.2 days. This investigation highlights some critical changes in clinical pathways, which resulted in decreased surgical site infections, better treatment outcomes, and more efficacious use of available clinical resources. The next step in this field of inquiry is to evaluate the sustainability of these effects in time and their applicability in other surgical branches.
