Ann Surg 2023; 277: 727-733.

Lavage with povidone iodine before skin closure for 1 min was compared to saline lavage in this study that included 941 procedures. The rate of surgical site infection was similar: 7.6 per cent with iodine and 5.1 per cent with saline, P=0.154.

Comment: the fact that the wound is flushed may be more important than what with.
