Removing hair (if necessary), cleansing the surgical site, and assessing the skin for rashes or areas of breakdown are standard preoperative procedures to reduce the risk of infection and ensure the skin is in optimal condition for surgery. Applying a transparent dressing or a water-based lubricant is not typically part of skin preparation for surgery.
