  schema:description "Wound infections after an operation are common and mostly preventable. Before surgery you shower, hair is clipped rather than shaved if it has to go, a single dose of antibiotic is given shortly before the cut when the operation needs it, and the skin is cleaned with chlorhexidine in alcohol. You are kept warm during the operation, and the wound is covered and cared for cleanly afterwards."@en ;
