    Introduction: Surgical site infection is one of the most feared complications of a procedure. The incidence of surgical site infection in neurosurgery is low, but consequences can be dire in terms of both morbidity and mortality. Few studies on the national level have assessed this issue. Objective: Determinate the incidence of surgical site infections and analyze the risk factors of the development of these infections on patients submitted to craniotomy. Examine the impact of these infections in mortality rates and length of stay in hospitalization. Casuistry and Methodology: Retrospective cohort type study, done on Hospital Estadual de Diadema (Diadema State Hospital). All patients submitted to craniotomy between January 1st 2006 and December 31st 2007 were included in the study. All diagnostics of infection were compliant to the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The surgical site infections were classified as superficial, deep or organ space. Results: 352 craniotomies were conducted. The average age was 46.24 years. Admittance diagnosis most prominent were cranioencephalic trauma 101 (28.7%), subdural hematoma 61 (17.3%) and neoplasm 54 (15.3%). In the time span were observed 46 (13.1%) surgical site infections. Length of stay of patients that suffered infections was on average 58.26 days (3 and 187 days), against 16.07 days (0 and 122 days) for patients that showed no sign of infections. We found a predominance of Gram-negative bacteria 34 (72.4%), with prominence of Acinetobacter baumannii 11 (37.9%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 5 (17.2%). After multi-valued analysis, the factors independently related to the incidence of infections were necessity of surgery repetition (OR=13,22; IC95%=5,61-31,16; p<0,0001) and external ventricular derivation presence (OR=5,61; IC95%=2,21 -14,22; p<0,0001). In the sample, 78.3% of patients with organ space surgical site infections expired. Conclusions: In our study we found a high rate of surgical site infections, mostly Gram-negative bacteria. The use of external ventricular derivation and surgery repetition were the main risk factors. We found a relation between the rise of mortality and patients suffering organ space surgical site infections, and the occurrence of surgical site infection had a significant impact in patient length of stay increase.
