A total of 100 cases were studied, male patients were more compared to females with ratio of 3:2, with mean age of 42.7 years, all clean surgical cases were operated, with highest being inguinal hernia 31%. In this study 6% of cases in group-II and 2% case in group-I had postoperative infection, with most common organism isolated being staphylococcus aureus.
