Acute AppendicitisSurgical Site InfectionThis study aims to evaluate the utility of double-ring wound-edge protectors to prevent the development of superficial surgical site infections after open appendectomy.
Prospective Cohort Study in Evaluation of Risk Factors for Infection During and After Coronary Graft...
Surgical Wound InfectionWe aim to prospectively evaluate the risk factors that can play a role before, during or after the surgical period.
Observation of the Implementation of a Bundle of Care in Colorectal Surgery to Reduce Surgical Site...
Reduction of Surgical Site Infections in Colorectal SurgeryThis study aims to evaluate whether the colorectal bundle designed and implemented at Cantonal Hospital Lucerne, will lead to a significant reduction of SSIs. The impact of potential risk factors for SSIs will additionally be evaluated.
Neomycin and Metronidazole Hydrochloride With or Without Polyethylene Glycol in Reducing Infection...
Colorectal NeoplasmsDiverticulitis2 moreThis randomized clinical trial studies how well neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride with or without polyethylene glycol work in reducing infection in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. Polyethylene glycol, may draw water from the body into the colon, flushing out the contents of the colon. Antibiotics, like neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride, may stop bacteria from growing. It is not yet known whether it's better to give preoperative neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride with or without polyethylene glycol in reducing surgical site infection after colorectal surgery.
Determining the Worldwide Epidemiology of Surgical Site Infections After Gastrointestinal Surgery...
Surgical Wound InfectionSurgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication following major gastrointestinal surgery, affecting between 25-40% of patients. The rate of SSI doubles from low-income to high-income settings, persisting after risk adjustment. Investigating the diagnosis and treatment of SSIs remains a largely unaddressed global health priority. The impact of antibiotic resistant organisms and the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis are unknown. This study aims to determine SSI rates following gastrointestinal surgery across worldwide hospital settings.

PICO Dressings for Emergency Laparotomy
Surgical Site InfectionSSI (Surgical Site Infection) rate is an important consideration after emergency laparotomy. SSIs carry a high financial burden for health institutes with the cost of major SSIs after emergency laparotomy to add an additional cost of £10000-£15000 per patient. NICE has recommended the use of PICO dressings for the reduction of SSI rate as a cost-neutral. The purpose of this study was to review the current SSI rate, assess the patient risk factors for development of SSIs and evaluate if the use of PICO dressings as per NICE guidelines will reduce the SSI rate.
Risk Factors for Staphylococcus Aureus Surgical Site Infections in Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery...
Staphylococcus AureusSurgical Wound Infection2 moreThe most commonly identified organism for Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in orthopedic surgery is Staphylococcus aureus but risk factors for mono microbial S.aureus SSI are not well-known. The aim of this study was to evaluated the incidence rate of S. aureus SSI over the years and risk factors of these infections in a french University Hospital.
Environmental Risk Factors of Mesh Infection After Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair
Surgical Site InfectionMesh infection is the main complication in abdominal hernia repair. In case of infection, a conservative management of mesh is not always possible. The removal of the mesh (occurring in 5.1% to 8% of wall hernia repair) increases the risk of recurrence and surgical morbidity. Within our digestive surgery department (CHRU de Nancy), an infection rate of 10.7% (32 cases out of 298 patients with wall hernia repair) was observed between January 2016 and December 2018. This rate is higher than those usually described in the literature. Several studies have identified predictors of mesh infection and explantation after abdominal wall hernia repair. The influence of the operating environment (temperature, hygrometry, pressure, number of people present, etc.) has, to our knowledge, never been studied. If the risk of prosthesis infection is influenced by one or more of these extrinsic characteristics, it is possible to act on these practices to reduce this risk. The main purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics specific to the intervention and the operating environment associated with mesh infection after abdominal wall hernia reconstruction
