Filter by:Transumbilical laparoscopic appendectomy (TULA) is increasingly favored in the treatment of appendicitis within the realm of minimally invasive surgical approaches. This procedure offers advantages such as superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced postoperative pain. However, like all surgical interventions, it carries the inherent risk of surgical site infections (SSI), which pose significant challenges to patient health and healthcare systems by escalating treatment costs, prolonging recovery, and increasing morbidity rates. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the "glove finger method" in mitigating SSI risk in TULA. The rationale for this study is predicated on the hypothesis that the glove finger method could serve as a simple and cost-effective measure offering potential protection against SSIs. When compared to traditional methods, this technique may not only reduce surgical duration but also diminish the risk of SSIs, thereby potentially decreasing hospital stay durations. Furthermore, enhancing the understanding of factors contributing to the development of SSIs and developing effective strategies for their prevention can elevate patient care quality and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.
Multicentre non-inferiority cluster randomised trial testing Disposable versus Reusable drApes and Gowns for green OperatiNg theatres. A pragmatic 1:1 international multi-centre non-inferiority cluster randomised controlled trial, with an internal pilot. Clusters are individual hospitals.
n the current work we are aiming to compare between the mesh-reinforced stoma closure and the anatomical closure in terms of the risk of developing surgical site incisional hernia (SSIH),incidence of surgical site infection , post-operative Pain and Hospital stay
Bacterial infections occurring during labor, childbirth, and the puerperium may be associated with considerable maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Antibiotic prophylaxis might reduce wound infection incidence after an episiotomy, particularly in situations associated with a higher risk of postpartum perineal infection, such as midline episiotomy, extension of the incision, or in settings where the baseline risk of infection after vaginal birth is high. However, available evidence is unclear concerning the role of prophylactic antibiotics in preventing infections after an episiotomy.
We are investigating outcome of antibiotic coated vicryl versus non coated vicryl in terms of rate of surgical site infection and lebgth of hospital stay in children after lalaprotomy for perforated viscera. total 100 patients will be taken and 50 in each group.
A double-blinded, controlled study was conducted at one county hospital in Sweden. Patients were randomly assigned, skin samples were collected at four times; baseline, preoperative, after intervention and after 48 hours. Bacterial colonization were assessed.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common healthcare-associated infections and sources of morbidity and over-mortality. Factors that have been proven to reduce SSI include antimicrobial prophylaxis, maintenance of perioperative normothermia, avoidance of hyperglycemia, proper surgical techniques, and adequate pain relief postoperatively
The Catalan Cancer Plan (CCP) undertakes periodic audits of cancer treatment outcomes, including organ/space surgical site infections (O/S-SSI) rates, while the Catalan Healthcare-associated Infections Surveillance Programme (VINCat) carries out standardized prospective surveillance of surgical site infections (SSIs) in colorectal surgery. This cohort study aimed to assess the concordance between these two monitoring systems for O/S-SSI following primary rectal cancer surgery.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a frequent complication in abdominal surgery. SSI lead to worse outcomes for the affected patients and significantly higher healthcare costs. Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) consists of a non-invasive, vacuum-assisted system that applies negative pressure to closed surgical incisions. It is currently unclear, if ciNPWT reduces SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. This trial will investigate the effect of ciNPWT on SSI in abdominal surgery.
Surgical site infections (SSI) pose a common challenge in the field of surgery. Current evidence and literature do not provide clear consensus whether the use of subcutaneous drainage will help reduce the incidence of SSI in patients who underwent abdominal surgery, especially in wounds that are categorized as contaminated (class 3) or dirty/infected (class 4). The objective of this clinical study is to compare the rate of surgical site infection in contaminated and dirty/infected surgical wounds among patients whose wounds are inserted with subcutaneous drainage and patients who are not inserted with subcutaneous drainage.
