Abstract Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose a significant risk to patient safety, emphasizing the necessity for stringent infection control measures in the operating room (OR). The influence of cosmetic use by OR staff on infection control practices has gained attention, necessitating a thorough investigation into its implications. Objective: This review aims to explore the effects of cosmetic use by operating room personnel on infection control, highlighting associated risks and proposing innovative strategies for mitigating these challenges. Methods: A systematic review of literature was conducted, analyzing recent studies addressing the correlation between cosmetic use and infection control in surgical settings. Findings: Evidence suggests that cosmetics can harbor microorganisms, potentially increasing the risk of SSIs. Furthermore, the presence of cosmetics may compromise the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE) and hinder adherence to aseptic protocols. Conclusion: Limiting cosmetic use in the OR is essential for enhancing infection control practices. Implementing educational initiatives and clear policies can foster a culture of safety, ultimately protecting patients and healthcare professionals alike.
