Core Tip This editorial highlights Wang et al’s findings that structured perioperative disinfection and isolation measures reduce gastrointestinal surgery infection rates by 55%, while improving systemic inflammation and organ function. Their multidisciplinary approach combining preoperative decolonization, intraoperative aseptic techniques, and postoperative wound care, marks a paradigm shift in infection control beyond antibiotics. Key challenges include protocol standardization, cost-effective adaptation, and sustainable compliance. This study calls for prospective trials, artificial intelligence-driven risk stratification, and global collaboration to enhance implementation, redefining infection prevention as a cornerstone of surgical quality, with far-reaching implications for patient outcomes and antimicrobial resistance mitigation.
