Surgical Wound Classification
Wound Class
Definition
Examples
Reminders
Class I
Clean
Operative wound clean
Non-traumatic, with no inflammation
encountered
No break in technique
Gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts not entered
Neurological procedures
Endocrine procedures
Eye surgery
Orthopedic procedures
Penile prosthesis
Vascular procedures
Skin (mastectomy, lumpectomy, lesions,
lipoma, cosmetic
Exploratory Lap (no bowel involvement II)
Miscellaneous procedures
Removing old implants (wires, pins,
etc…)
Common cases: (Amputation,
arthroplasty, blephoroplasty, closed
fracture, herniorrhaphy, laminectomy,
laparoscopy, lipoma excision,
mastectomy, mediastinectomy,
orchiopexy, reconstructive (ortho),
rhytidectomy (facelift), spleenectomy)
Class II
Clean Contaminated
Operative wound clean-contaminated
Thoracic procedure (except mediatinoscopy I)
Non-traumatic wound with minor break in
technique
GI procedures (including: laparoscopy,
colonoscopy, gastroscopy), (it is III)
Gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts entered without significant
spillage.
Includes:
Hysterectomy
GU procedures (infected III)
Ear surgery (infected III)
Nose/Oropharynx procedures
GYN procedures (oophorectomy I, inflammed
III, infective IV)
Any wound open for drainage II
(except total hip/ knee)
Re-operation at the same site
Common cases: (Appendectomy elective, bowel resection, colostomy
closure, cystoscopy, gastrectomy,
chronic/basic gallbladder,
thoracotomy for lung resection,
myringectomy - BMT, nephrotomy,
nephrectomy, open lung biopsy
(thoracotomy), oral surgery w/o
infection, otopharygeal,
pyelolithotomy, renal transplant,
suprapubic prostatectomy, tuboplasty,
salpingoopherectomy)
Class III
Contaminated
Operative wound contaminated
Fresh traumatic wound from clean source
operative wound with a major break in
techique
Gross spillage from the gastrointestinal tract
Incision encountering acute non-purulent
inflamation
Inflammation
Gross spillage
Fresh accidental wound
Foreign bodies in a wound (sponge,
etc…)
Common cases: (Bowel resection
w/peritonitis, old burns, open fracture
over 4hrs, open traumatic wound)
Class IV
Operative wound dirty
Traumatic wound from dirty source
Traumatic wound from dirty source
Fecal contamination
Infected
Foreign body
I & D abscess
Dirty - infected
Retained devitialized tissue
Wound debridement
Operative wound with acute bacterial
inflammation or perforated viscus
Operative wound where clean tissue is
transected to gain access to a collection of pus
Common cases: (Bartholin cyst, bowel
resection w/perforation, empyema,
sinus infection, pelvic abscess,
pilonidal cyst infected)
Unclassified
When unable to classify accurately an
operative wound
Communicable disease (aids,
hepatitis, TB) is not classified the
surgical wound is what is being
classified.
