TL;DR: This trial showed a robust benefit to routinely changing gloves and instruments before abdominal wound closure and suggests that it should be widely implemented into surgical practice around the world.

TL;DR: Routine sterile glove and instrument change before abdominal wall closure is effective and the costs are similar to those for current practice, indicating that the intervention was cost-effective.

TL;DR: ChEETAh as discussed by the authors was an international cRCT (hospitals as clusters) evaluating whether changing sterile gloves and instruments prior to abdominal wound closure reduces surgical site infection at 30 days postoperative.

TL;DR: The WHQ is a valid tool for diagnosing SSI after abdominal surgery in low- and middle-income countries.
