Introduction: Globally, surgical site infections (SSI) are known to be most common nosocominal infections in hospitalized patients after urinary tract infection. There are many studies which showed surgical site infection rates are reported globally as it range from 2.5% to 41.9% resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Surgical infections are those which caused infection as a result of a surgical procedure or those that require surgical intervention as part of their treatment which are characterized by breaking of anatomic defense mechanisms and are associated with greater morbidity, significant mortality, and increased cost of care. Though increasing the advance technology in surgical sciences post operative wound infection remains one of the common complications which surgeons encounter. If this problem is not evaluated and treated in timely then it can have significant sequel. The cutaneous or mucosal barrier, entrance of microbes into the host tissue is the initial requirement for infection. In SSI patient stays in hospital may be double the length of time and also increase the costs of health care. The main extra cost may be related to re-operation, extra nursing care and interventions, and drug treatment costs. AIM: The main aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of SSI with reference to factors contributing to it and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in surgery wards. Material and Methods: For this study patients were included as they were admitted in the surgical wards and the surgical emergencies that underwent surgical procedure in this hospital. The surgical procedures were classified as planned (elective) surgeries, emergency surgeries and clean, clean-contaminated surgeries, contaminated and dirty patients were divided accordingly. The discharged of infected wound were collected in sterilized container or the pus swab were collected aseptically procedure and send to microbiology laboratory for further process. By consulting with microbiologist the result were recorded. Result: On the base of surgeries were done total 452 cases were preformed. Out of 452 cases there were 132 cases in emergency out of which 29 get infected and in 320 elective cases 20 got infected. The overall rate of surgical site infection (SSI) was 10.8%. The occurrence of SSI in emergency cases (22%) was found to be higher compared to elective cases (6.3%). Out of total cases send for the culture and sensitivity, organism cultured gram negative organism predominate and and commonest was Escherchia coli, followed by Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus aureus. E.coli and Klebsiella from emergency cases showed resistance to ciprofloxacin (83%) and ceftraixone (83%) and elective cases showed resistance of 70 % to ciprofloxacin and 40% to ceftriaxone. Therefore it was found that occurrence of SSI is significantly more in emergency cases. Conclusion: In this study rate of surgical site infection (SSI) was 10.8% whereas in clean 5.6%, in Clean and Contaminated 7.3% , in contaminated 21.2% and in dirty 25.9%. In gram negative bacteria E.coli were most commonly isolated bacteria followed by Pseudomonas and Klebsiella and in gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aereus were most common isolated bacteria. Therefore antibiotics sensitive to the gram negative and pram positive bacteria should be initiative for establishing improved hospital antimicrobial policy and antimicrobial prescribing guidelines.

Study Design: Comparative randomized control trial Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery Unit-1, Sandeman Provincial Hospital Quetta from 1st September 2020 to 30th April 2021. Methodology: Eighty patients of both genders were presented in this study. Patients detailed demographics age, sex and body mass index were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients underwent for appendectomy wound irrigation were included. Patients were equally divided into two equal groups, I and II. Group I had 40 patients and received imipenem and group II irrigated with saline solution with 40 patients. Outcomes were surgical site infection, deep abscess formation was observed post-operatively. Results: The mean age of the patients in group I was 26.11±2.03 years with mean BMI 23.61±3.32 kg/m2 and in group II mean age was 25.14±3.12 years with mean BMI 22.14±4.88 kg/m2. In group I, 32 (80%) patients had inflamed appendix, perforated appendix was in 7 (17.5%) and gangrenous appendix in 1 (2.5%) while in group II inflamed appendix in 34 (85%), perforated appendix in 4 (10%) and gangrenous appendix 2 (5%). Surgical site infection in group I was 3 (7.5%) and abscess formation in 2 (5%) cases while in group II SSI in 6 (15%) and abscess formation in 3 (7.5%) cases. Conclusion: Imipenem irrigation after appendectomy reduces wound infection. Healthcare costs and patient suffering due to infection can be reduced.

Background: Umbilical and ventral hernia occurs as a result of weakness in musculofascial layer of anterior abdominal wall. The most important causes are congenital, acquired, incisional and traumatic. UH and VH can be repair by open surgical procedure. A successful series of laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernia and VH was done by Le blanc in 1993. The cost can be optimised by selection of mesh and optimal uses of transabdominal suture and various fixation devices. This original article reveals methods, techniques, indication, contraindication, post-op pain, operative time, surgical site infection recurrence and outcome of laparoscopic umbilical hernia and paraumbilical hernia repair.Methods: A total of 21 patients of ventral hernia (umbilical, paraumbilical and incisional), who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair from October 2014 to October 2016, were selected have taken part in study with valid consent, in B.J. Medical College Ahmedabad Gujarat. All patient study regarding operative time, postoperative pain, postoperative hospital stay, surgical site infection like wound infection, seroma, hernia defect size, mean drain removal and recurrence.Results: Out of 21 patients male are 33% and female are 67%. Mean age of patients is 45 yrs with range being 18-65 yrs. 28%, 33.33%, and 38.1% of patient had umbilical, paraumbilical and incisional hernia respectively. Mean size defect was 7.8 cm2. Mean operative time in this study is 98.6 minute. Mean drain removal is 2.80 day. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.3 days. 4.7% had wound infection, 9.5% had seroma formation. There is 0% recurrence in present study.Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach appears to be safe, effective and acceptable. It is also effective in those who are obese, with co morbidities (complex) and who have recurrence from prior open repair and having ascites.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pre-cesarean vaginal wash using 5% Povidone Iodine solution on rate of post-cesarean section (CS) surgical site infection and compared with No swabbing. Method: A Prospective Randomized controlled Trial was conducted in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Government medical college, Aurangabad. In interventional group, vaginal swabbing with a gauze pieces impregnated with 5% Povidone Iodine solution was done for 30 seconds. The swabbing of vagina was not performed in cases assigned to control group, however the standard surgical preparation of abdomen was done in a usual manner for both group. All subject received prophylactic antibiotic cover. Collected data was complied in pre-designed proforma and analysis was done using SPSS 15. Result: The risk of post operative fever and wound infection was significantly reduced in interventional group. No measure difference was noted in seroma and composite wound infection. Also less duration of hospital stay in interventional group was noted. No adverse effect of use of Povidone iodine was reported in the interventional group. Conclusion: Vaginal swabbing with 5% Povidone-iodine pre- LSCS is inexpensive and simple intervention even for low resource setting to decrease surgical site infection.

Surgery in jaundiced patients is associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications compared with surgery in non jaundiced patients. These complications primarily consists of septic complications, hemorrhage, superficial surgical site infection (SSSI), wound dehiscence and renal disorders. Of them Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is found more commonly than other. This study was done to evaluate the effect of delayed primary closure on preventing wound infection than that of primary closure of wound after surgery in patients with obstructive jaundice. This randomized clinical trial was carried out at the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic division of Department of Surgery in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from July 2012 to June 2013. A total of 88 patients were included in this study who underwent surgical intervention for obstructive jaundice. These patients were divided into two groups randomly; control group (n=44) who underwent primary closure of the wound and experimental group (n=44) who underwent delayed primary closure of the wound. Patients demography, clinical presentation, comorbidities, pre, per and post operative variables and outcome were compared between two groups. Mean age of the patients of experimental and control group was 47.91± 14.63 and 42.25±12.13 years respectively. Duration of jaundice was significantly higher in experimental group 4.91±2.87 months than in control group 3.10±1.62 months. Postoperative wound infection was found significantly higher in control group (43.2%) than that of experimental group (11.4%). Postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in control group (18.77± 6.24 days) than in experimental group (13.52±3.61 days). Delayed primary closure of wound reduces wound infection significantly than primary closure of wound in patients with obstructive jaundice. Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2019;14(1): 37-40
