Sir,

A recent publication on surgical site infection and malignant soft tissue tumors is very interesting. Morii et al. [1] concluded, “Surgical site infections remain a critical and frequent complication of surgical treatment of soft-tissue malignancies and often result in prolongation of hospital stay.” Indeed, wound care seems to be an important factor for controlling wound infection. Any infection might imply poor infection control by the hospital. The reported incidence of 7 % is considerably high, but does not vary greatly from that reported for general orthopedics patients [2]. A good continuous infection control program should be established in order to control the problem. Re-evaluation and revision of the program for continuous quality improvement are suggested [3].
