Introduction: Surgical Site Infection (SSI) ranks third among infections in hospital institutions. The numbers may vary depending on the type of procedure and the severity of the disease, it is necessary that nurses have knowledge and skill in performing the technique of preparing the patient for the surgical procedure. Objective: To identify in the literature the relationship of the preparation of the patient's skin surgery and the decrease of Surgical Site Infection. Method: This is a study of literature review, a narrative with a qualitative approach. For the development of the work, scientific articles from the last 7 years, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, were considered. Results: show that the length of stay influences the development of SSI, and that although there is a slight positive advantage in the use of chlorhexidine over povidone iodine, there is no considerable statistical difference, so there is no consensus in the literature for a strategy specific for preparing the patient's skin. In the studies raised, it is clear that the incidence of SSI is similar when comparing the use of chlorhexidine and the use of other antiseptics or soap without antiseptic and there is a consensus that trichotomy should be performed only with a specific indication. Conclusion: Considering that assessment of which product should be used in preparing the skin is of paramount importance for preventing SSI, it is necessary to conduct new studies that show the best type of skin preparation and the participation of nursing is paramount for its conduct.
