    AbstractCareful literature review revealed little information on the safety of using an operating room during major renovation. This study sought to determine if an operating room under renovation increases infectious morbidity in the surgical wound. The observations of this study indicate that it is possible to use a properly ventilated operating room undergoing renovation if the precautions of controlling construction traffic, sealing off the construction area from the OR in use, fastidious housekeeping, environmental culturing, and careful surveillance of wound infections are used.
