AIM: to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative oral antibiotics in reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) in rectal surgery. METHODS: patients undergoing rectal resection were assigned randomly to 2 groups: control (standard preoperative care and intravenous injection of 3d generation cephalosporin) and oral antibiotics group (the above was complemented by three-knit oral metronidazole 500 mg and erythromycin 500 mg after beginning of mechanical bowel cleansing at 5.00, 8.00 and 10.00 p.m.). The primary endpoint was the overall rate of SSI. RESULTS: between November 2017 and October 2018, 104 patients (48 in the oral antibiotics group and 56 in control group) were enrolled for this study. The incidence of SSIs was 19.6% (11/56) in control group and 4.1% (2/48) in the oral antibiotics group(р=0.01). Both groups had no statistically significant differences in intensity of SSIs and rate of anastomotic leakage. CONCLUSION: preoperative oral antibiotic significantly reduced the risk of SSIs following rectal surgery. The study needs to be continued for evaluation of preoperative oral antibiotics impact to intensity of SSIs and rate of anastomotic leakage.

The Impact

Background: Surgical-site infection (SSI) and anastomotic leakage (AL) are major complications following surgical resection of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The beneficial effect of prophylactic oral antibiotics (OABs) on AL in particular is inconsistent. We investigated the impact of OABs on AL rates and on SSI. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of recent RCTs and cohort studies was performed including patients undergoing elective CRC surgery, receiving OABs with or without mechanical bowel preparation (MBP). Primary outcomes were rates of SSI and AL. Secondarily, rates of SSI and AL were compared in broad-spectrum OABs and selective OABs (selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD)) subgroups. Results: Eight studies (seven RCTs and one cohort study) with a total of 2497 patients were included. Oral antibiotics combined with MBP was associated with a significant reduction in SSI (RR = 0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31–0.69), I2 = 1.03%) and AL rates (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.37–0.91, I2 = 0.00%), compared to MBP alone. A subgroup analysis demonstrated that SDD resulted in a significant reduction in AL rates compared to broad-spectrum OABs (RR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.91), I2 = 0.00%). Conclusion: OABs in addition to MBP reduces SSI and AL rates in patients undergoing elective CRC surgery and, more specifically, SDD appears to be more effective compared to broad-spectrum OABs in reducing AL.

IntroductionMechanical bowel preparation (MBP) prior to rectal surgery is widely used. Based on retrospective data many guidelines recommend mechanical and oral antibiotic bowel preparation (MOABP) to reduce postoperative complications and specifically surgical site infections (SSIs). The primary aim of this study is to examine whether MOABP reduces complications of rectal surgery.Methods and analysisThe MOBILE2 (Mechanical Bowel Preparation and Oral Antibiotics vs Mechanical Bowel Preparation Only Prior Rectal Surgery) trial is a multicentre, double-blinded, parallel group, superiority, randomised controlled trial comparing MOABP to MBP among patients scheduled for rectal surgery with colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. The patients randomised to the MOABP group receive 1 g neomycin and 1 g metronidazole two times on a day prior to surgery and patients randomised to the MBP group receive identical placebo. Based on power calculations, 604 patients will be enrolled in the study. The primary outcome is Comprehensive Complication Index within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes are SSIs within 30 days after surgery, the number and classification of anastomosis dehiscences, the length of hospital stay, mortality within 90 days after surgery and the number of patients who received adjuvant treatment if needed. Tertiary outcomes are overall survival, disease-specific survival, recurrence-free survival and difference in quality-of-life before and 1 year after surgery. In addition, the microbiota differences in colon mucosa are analysed.Ethics and disseminationThe Ethics Committee of Helsinki University Hospital approved the study. The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed academic journals.Trial registration numberNCT04281667.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) rates for below-knee dermatological surgery are unacceptably high, particularly following complex flap and graft closures. The role of antibiotic prophylaxis for these surgical cases is uncertain. Objective: To determine whether SSI following complex dermatological closures on the leg could be reduced by antibiotic prophylaxis administered as a single oral preoperative dose. Methods: A total of 115 participants were randomized to 2 g of oral cephalexin or placebo 40-60 minutes prior to surgical incision in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at a primary care skin cancer clinic in North Queensland, Australia. Results: Overall 17/55 (30.9%) controls and 14/55 (25.5%) intervention participants developed infection (P = 0.525). There was no difference between the study groups in adverse symptoms that could be attributed to high-dose antibiotic administration (P = 1).

Introduction: In our country, various institutes have different protocols for postoperative antibiotics. Many western literature have mentioned that administration of prophylactic antibiotics for longer than 24 hours has no advantage and may actually lead to superinfection with drug-resistant organisms. Because of environmental and theater condition most of the surgeon here are very reluctant to use prophylactic antibiotics for only 24 hours. The objective of the study was to find out the effect of duration of prophylactic antibiotics on the rate of surgical site infection in clean elective orthopaedic surgeries. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial involving 207 clean elective orthopaedic patients undergoing surgery. The patients were divided into three groups which received intravenous prophylactic antibiotics for 24 hours, 48 hours and 48 hours followed by 7 days of oral antibiotics respectively. The patients were followed up for three months postoperatively. Result: There was no significant difference in the rate of surgical site infection among the three groups. Conclusion: We conclude that there is no benefit in prolonging prophylactic antibiotics beyond 24 hours.

Complication Of Surgery

AimsSurgical site infection (SSI) is a common complication of surgery with an incidence of about 1% in the United Kingdom. Sutures can lead to the development of a SSI, as micro-organisms can colonize the suture as it is implanted. Triclosan-coated sutures, being antimicrobical, were developed to reduce the rate of SSI. Our aim was to assess whether triclosan-coated sutures cause a reduction in SSIs following arthroplasty of the hip and knee.Patients and MethodsThis two-arm, parallel, double-blinded study involved 2546 patients undergoing elective total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at three hospitals. A total of 1323 were quasi-randomized to a standard suture group, and 1223 being quasi-randomized to the triclosan-coated suture group. The primary endpoint was the rate of SSI at 30 days postoperatively.ResultsThe baseline characteristics of age, gender and comorbidities were well matched in the two groups. The rates of superficial SSI were 0.8% in the control group and 0.7% in the intervention group (p = 0.651), and when deep and superficial SSIs were combined the rates were 2.5% and 1.8 (p = 0.266). The length of stay in hospital and the rates of medical complications did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 1.000).ConclusionThis trial provided no evidence that the use of triclosan-coated sutures at THA and TKA leads to a reduction in the rate of SSI.

IntroductionSurgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications after gastrointestinal surgery, with a reported incidence of approximately 10%–25%, which is higher than the rates after other types of surgery. Intraoperative wound irrigation (IOWI) is a simple intervention for SSI prevention, and recent studies have reported that IOWI with aqueous povidone–iodine (PVP-I) is significantly more effective at reducing the incidence of SSI than saline. However, the evidence level of previous trials evaluating the efficacy of aqueous PVP-I solution for preventing SSI has been low.Methods and analysesWe propose a single-institute, prospective, randomised, blinded-endpoint trial to assess the superiority of IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution compared with normal saline for reducing SSI in clean-contaminated wounds after elective gastrointestinal surgery. In the study group, IOWI with 40 mL of aqueous 10% PVP-I solution is performed for 1 min before skin suture, and in the control group, IOWI with 100 mL of saline is performed for 1 min before skin suture. We hypothesise that IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution will achieve a 50% reduction in the incidence of SSIs. The target number of cases is set at 950. The primary outcome is the incidence of incisional SSI up to postoperative day 30 and will be analysed in the modified intention-to-treat set.Ethics and disseminationThis trial was designed and is being conducted by Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, with approval from the Bioethics Committee for Clinical Research, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University. Participant recruitment began in June 2019. The final results will be reported in international peer-reviewed journals immediately after trial completion.Trial registration numberUMIN000036889.

Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is the cleansing technique used clean up the large gut using oral cathartic agents like polyethylene glycol, sodium phosphate, sodium Pico sulfate, and magnesium citrate. Objectives: To compare the frequency of infectious complications between mechanical bowel preparation and no preparation in elective colonic surgery. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: OPD or Indoor Surgical unit 5, DHQ Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: 1st January 2017 to 31st Dec 2018. Material & Methods: Patients diagnosed of malignant tumors of colon, appendix or cecum were included in study. Group A: mechanical bowel preparation done according to standard protocols, group B no mechanical bowel preparation was done. All patients were followed regularly for 2 weeks for presence or absence of surgical site infections and anastomotic leakage. Results: In this study, surgical site infection in both groups was compared, it shows that 18.59% (n=37) in Experimental group and 9.55% (n=19) in Control group had SSI while 81.41% (n=162) in Experimental group and 90.45% (n=180) in Control group bad no SSI, p - value was calculated as 0.009 showing a significant difference. Comparison of surgical anastomotic leakage in both groups was done, it shows that 2.51% (n=5) in Experimental group and 1.51% (n=3) in Control group had anastomotic leakage, p - value was calculated as 0.47 showing insignificant difference. Conclusion: We concluded that no mechanical bowel preparation is significantly better than mechanical bowel preparation in elective colonic surgery in terms of post-operative surgical site infection.
