Introduction: Iatrogenic gallbladder perforation with bile spillage (BS) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) occurs frequently but its impact to the patient can range from port site surgical site infection (SSI), bowel obstruction, intraperitoneal abscess to none. We aim to examine the prevalence of port site SSI in patients with bile spillage during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A prospective descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken which included consecutive patients who underwent LC over a period of six months and had intraoperative bile spillage. Patients were noted and evaluated for the presence of port site SSI. Patients were assessed clinically during hospitalization and on follow-up at five and even days post operatively. Bile spillage (BS) as a possible risk factor for port site surgical site infection (SSI) was analyzed. Results: Out of 318 patients, there were 229 (72%) female and 89(28%) male patients with a mean age of 46 ± 11.7 years. BS occurred in 66 (20.8%) patients. Port site SSI was present in 14 (4.4%) patients. SSI among patients with bile spillage was present in 8 (12.1%) and among patients without BS was 6 (2.3%). Conclusion: The present study reveals that iatrogenic gallbladder perforation with BS has higher prevalence of port site SSI.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the choice of operation for symptomatic gallstones. Gallstone and bile spillage can occur during laparoscopic cholecystectomy during dissection by cautery or due to perforation of gall bladder by grasper. The complication of spilt stone and bile may range from simple superficial surgical site infection, adhesion, obstruction, abscess formation to none. Methods: This study was conducted at Western Regional Hospital (WRH), Pokhara from July 2015 to December 2016. A total of one hundred and twenty patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. All patients’ age, sex, pre-operative ultrasound findings, intra operative spillage of stone and bile and post-operative superficial surgical site infection were noted. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel software and SPSS-21. Result obtained from the study was discussed with reference to current world literature. Results: Out of one hundred and twenty patients, one hundred and nine were female and eleven were male with mean age of 42.68 years. Spillage of stones and bile occurred in twelve patients (10%). Spillage of stone and bile was common with multiple stones. Only four patients (one male and three females) developed superficial port site infection (3.3%). Two patients among spillage and two among non spillage developed superficial surgical site infection (p<0.05). Most common organism was Staphylococcus aureus followed by Escherichia coli. Conclusion: The incidence of split stone or bile is 10 % and is common with multiple gallstones. The chance of superficial surgical site infection is more in male patients and with spillage of stone and bile.

Aim: To compare the frequency of surgical site infection with or without bile spillage during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at Department of Surgery, M. Islam Medical and Dental College Gujranwala from March 2020 to September 2020 over the period of 6 months. Total 68 pppatients of acute cholecystitis (as per operational definition) undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy either male or female having age from 20 60 years with duration of gal stone (single or multiple) ≥ 6 months were selected. After 2 weeks follow-up, surgical site infection was assed. Results: Mean age of the patients was 39.90 ± 12.04, mean age of patients of study group A was and B was 38.88 ± 13.01 and 40.91 ± 11.08 years respectively. Comparison of frequency of surgical site infection was done between both groups. In study group A (spillage group), SSI was found in 12 (35.29%) patients while in study group B (without spillage group), SSI was noted in 4 (11.76%) patients. Difference of frequency of SSI between the study group A and B was statistically significant (P = 0.022). Conclusion: Results of present study showed that surgical site infection is mostly occurred in patients with spillage of bile during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Most of the patients were belonged to 3rd and 4th decade of life. Significantly higher rate of surgical site infection was noted in female patients of spillage of bile group.

Background: Appendectomy is the most commonly performed emergency  surgical procedure and has significant morbidity of surgical site infection (SSIs). Regarding this, there are conflicting reports and dilemma on use of optimal duration of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of SSIs after three doses of perioperative prophylactic antibiot­ics (single dose before surgery and two doses postoperatively) after ap­pendectomy in acute non- perforated appendicitis (NPA). Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of General surgery, Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, from May 2018 to April 2019. All the cases received single dose of antibiotics (cef­triaxone and metronidazole) during the induction of anesthesia and two doses of the same antibiotics postoperatively within 24 hours. SSIs was assessed on 2nd and followed up till 7th postoperative day. The data col­lected was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: In the study of 100 patients, who received perioperative three doses of antibiotics, the overall frequency of SSIs on 2nd and 3rd post-operative day were 2% (p=.840) and 6% (p=.539) respectively, which was statistically not significant. In follow up after 3rd postoperative day, there was no evidence of SSIs. Statistically there was no significant difference in the incidence and grade of SSIs between age group, sex and duration of operation. Conclusions: A combined three doses of perioperative antibiotics was ad­equate for SSIs prevention in patients of any age group and sex with acute NPA after appendectomy in usual operative time.

Abstract Purposes Surgical site infection (SSI) after colorectal surgery is a frequent complication associated with the increase in morbidity, medical expenses, and mortality. To date, there is no nationwide large-scale database of SSI after colorectal surgery in China. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of SSI after colorectal surgery in China and to further evaluate the related risk factors. Methods Two multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional studies covering 55 hospitals in China and enrolling adult patients undergoing colorectal surgery were conducted from May 1 to June 30 of 2018 and the same time of 2019. The demographic and perioperative characteristics were collected, and the main outcome was SSI within postoperative 30 days. Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to predict risk factors of SSI after colorectal surgery. Results In total, 1046 patients were enrolled and SSI occurred in 74 patients (7.1%). In the multivariate analysis with adjustments, significant factors associated with SSI were the prior diagnosis of hypertension (OR, 1.903; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.088–3.327, P = 0.025), national nosocomial infection surveillance risk index score of 2 or 3 (OR, 3.840; 95% CI, 1.926–7.658, P < 0.001), laparoscopic or robotic surgery (OR, 0.363; 95% CI, 0.200–0.659, P < 0.001), and adhesive incise drapes (OR, 0.400; 95% CI, 0.187–0.855, P = 0.018). In addition, SSI group had remarkably increased length of postoperative stays (median, 15.0 d versus 9.0d, P < 0.001), medical expenses (median, 74,620 yuan versus 57,827 yuan, P < 0.001), and the mortality (4.1% versus 0.3%, P = 0.006), compared with those of non-SSI group. Conclusion This study provides the newest data of SSI after colorectal surgery in China and finds some predictors of SSI. The data presented in our study can be a tool to develop optimal preventive measures and improve surgical quality in China.

Surgical site infection after thyroid surgery is a less common incidence. Prophylactic antibiotic before surgery and empirical antibiotic therapy after surgery is a common practice in our country. But international guidelines do not suggest antibiotic in clean surgical procedure. Aim: To compare the incidence of surgical site infection after thyroid surgery with and without empirical antibiotic therapy. Method: It was a cross sectional study, done from July 2010 to December 2010 in 3 medical college hospitals in Dhaka city. Total 100 cases were included in this study, 50 cases for study in which only single prophylactic antibiotic used half an hour before operation, 50 cases for control in which 7 days antibiotic used per orally in addition to prophylaxis. Result: Among 100 cases male were 24 & female 76 (M: F= 1:3.2). Oldest patient was 56 yrs & youngest 21yrs. 47% patient operated for solitary thyroid nodule, 35% multinodular goiter & only 6% diffuse goiter. 47% patient was done hemithyroidectomy & only 7% total thyroidectomy. All the operations were completed within 2 hours where 40% within one hour. No surgical site infections were found in both study and control cases. Conclusion: There is no statistical difference between routine antibiotic use and no use of antibiotic after thyroid surgery. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2016; 22(1): 15-20
