Background: Increased referrals and workload during the pandemic lead to overcrowding in hospitals and increase in LSCS rates. Surgical site infection is one of the most common complication post LSCS causing physical and mental duress to the patients. The objective of the study was to analyse the effect of COVID-19 on SSI, the incidence, commonly associated factors and bacteriology of SSI. The design was prospective study design.Methods: 577 patients undergoing LSCS were studied from Day 1 till 30 days post LSCS from 1st August 2020 to 31st October 2020.Results: Out of 577, 28 (4.85%) patients developed SSI. 60% of SSI in our study were unbooked, 50% had haemoglobin less than 9.9 g/dl. Most common risk factor for developing of SSI included pre-eclampsia (32.14%) followed by previous LSCS (28.57%). Common organism isolate was MRSA (25%) and 75% required surgical management.Conclusions: Regular ANC visits can help in managing comorbidities at an earlier stage leading to reduction in SSI. Strict aseptic precautions should be followed to reduce SSI in cases with PROM and second stage arrest. SSI rate is not influenced by COVID-19 status but hospital facilities and overcrowding definitely have an effect.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) can be defined as an infection that is present up to 30 days after a surgical procedure if no implants are placed and up to one year if an implantable device was placed in the patient. SSI is a significant problem associated with major surgeries and is the 3rd most frequently reported nosocomial infection. This study aims to study the prevalence of SSI in the Department of Surgery, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi.Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken at the Department of General Surgery for a period of one year. Retrospective chart review was conducted from the hospital database. The rate of SSI was studied in relation to its type, the type of surgical procedure and elective vs emergency surgeries.Results: The present study revealed 12.5% prevalence of SSI in Department of General Surgery, RIMS. Among the 3 types, superficial incision SSI was most prevalent followed by deep incisional SSI and finally by organ/space SSI. The surgical procedure most commonly associated with SSI was exploratory laparotomy. An alarming 17.7% of SSI was associated with emergency surgeries as compared to 12.5% of elective surgeries.Conclusions: The consequences of SSIs greatly impact patients and the healthcare systems. Prevention of SSI requires a multifaceted approach targeting pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors. It is imperative that facilities have open-minded management teams, regulatory agencies and medical associations that want to provide the foundation required to generate a culture of patient safety in our health care systems.

Background: Caesarean section constitutes a major surgical procedure characterized with morbidity even if it is performed a planned procedure. Postoperative infection in obstetrics continues to affect the practice of every surgeon. Infection can cause an increase in patient’s stay in the hospital, create discomfort, cause disfigurement and lead to morbidities to the patient. Thus, preventive measures need to be constantly evaluated and updated and hence authors have to study and analyse prevalence of postoperative infectious morbidities.Methods: The study was conducted in an Urban Based Medical College Hospital in Ahmedabad. It was a retrospective cross-sectional study of 50 cases of patients who suffered infectious complications post caesarean from 1st March 2019 to 31st March 2020.Results: The prevalence rate of surgical site infection in my study is 5.9% whereas of post-operative puerperal sepsis is 0.6%, of post-operative urinary tract infection is 1.09%, of post-operative breast abnormalities is 0.16%. The most common infectious morbidity amongst all was surgical site infection (surgical site) infection and its prevalence was 5.9%.Conclusions: The development of post-operative infection is an important event that can be prevented by taking proper precautions and following prescribed guidelines. There should be specific use of antibiotics in the post-operative period. In the event of early signs of sepsis antibiotics should be administered properly as per culture sensitivity report. The decrease in infection rate also indirectly reduce the health costs involved in treating them post operatively.

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency. An appendicectomy is considered the gold standard of treatment for acute appendicitis because of the potential risk of disease progression to perforation, gangrene and peritonitis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of complications in patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis.Methods: A total number of 70 patients were studied with various symptoms of acute appendicitis and their complications, all patients were presented to PESIMSR, Kuppam from December 2016 to June 2018. Clinical assessment , investigations like WBC counts, X-ray erect abdomen, USG abdomen and pelvis and management were recorded. The incidence of complications were studied. The cases of appendicular mass was treated conservatively, except for those who do not respond to antibiotics.Results: During this study period, among 70 patients aged between 5-45 years, male were 53 and female patients were 17 and 11 patients belong to pediatric age group and 59 patients aged more than 18 years. The commonest complication was postoperative surgical site infection (20%) found in perforated appendix patients in our study. Around 76% of the patients developed complications. Among the female patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis, appendicular perforation being the most common complication and it was the postoperative surgical site infections in males.Conclusions: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency. Open appendicectomy is the most commonly done procedure in our hospital. The commonest complication is postoperative surgical site infection (20%) found in perforated appendix patients in our study.
