Purpose: The use of prophylactic antibiotics in the mesh repair of inguinal hernias remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the perception of surgeons about surgical site infection and how this affects their clinical practice. Methods: A SurveyMonkey of general surgeons and senior surgical trainees was conducted via the local trust network and the questionnaire was displayed on the website of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and Association of Surgeons in Training. Results: Eighty-one responses were received from surgeons who perform an average of 75 hernia repairs per year – the majority by open technique. Thirty-six (44.4%) used routine antibiotic prophylaxis, 40 (49.4%) selectively, and five (6.2%) not at all as the five surgeons who did not use antibiotics perceived their surgical site infection rate to be <1% and have never removed an infected mesh from a hernia wound. There was no clear difference between those who use prophylactic antibiotics routinely or selectively as the experience of mesh explantation is similar (56% versus 55% had 2–10 meshes removed respectively). Seventy-seven (95%) of surgeons felt a new specific set of guidelines was required. Conclusion: This study highlights the fact that in the absence of clear guidelines, most surgeons base their use of prophylactic antibiotics on their perceived risk or experience of surgical site infection. There is a strong need for a new set of guidelines to address the use of prophylactic antibiotics in groin hernia surgery.

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

Perioperative Antibiotics

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) often occurs in operation. SSI frequently only affects the superficial tissues, but some more serious infections can affect the deeper tissues or other parts of the body. The majority of SSIs become apparent within 30 days of an operative procedure, when a prosthetic implant is used, SSI may occur several months after the operation. To minimize surgical site infection occurrence, prophylaxis antibiotic is often used. The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of perioperative antibiotics for otorhinolaryngology surgery in third referral hospital in Surabaya.Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional method through the medical record of patients cases from December 2017 to January 2018. All data about sex, age, diagnosis, wound classification, surgical intervention including ICD 9 CM codes, and antibiotics regiments are presented descriptively.Results: Of total 68 patients, 42 (61.8%) were male and 46 (61.8%) were aged 18-65 years old. The most common type of operation was clean surgery 52 (76.5%). The most common prophylactic antibiotic was cefazoline 25 (96.6%). Conclusion: Most of the performed surgery was clean surgery. The use of perioperative antibiotics in most performed operations was in accordance with existing literature. The most widely used prophylactic and therapeutic antibiotic was cefazoline and ceftriaxone, respectively. Further research about risk factor of SSI, the use of prophylaxis antibiotic, and bacterial profile with more samples is needed for more accurate results.

Introduction: Local anaesthetic-only upper blepharoplasties are not routinely performed in the clinic in Australia. There is a lack of data to demonstrate whether they are any less safe or efficacious compared with upper blepharoplasties performed with sedation or general anaesthesia (GA) in theatre. Perioperative and postoperative antibiotics may also be administered for surgical site infection (SSI) prophylaxis. This paper aims to determine whether local-only upper blepharoplasties are safe and efficacious compared with upper blepharoplasties performed with sedation or GA, and whether prophylactic antibiotic use is indicated. Method: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing upper blepharoplasties from a single surgeon’s private clinic was performed from March 2014 to October 2018. The clinic’s database was interrogated and patient age, anaesthetic type, operative site, use of peri- or postoperative antibiotics, and complications were recorded including infection, return to theatre, chemosis and asymmetry noted by the patient and requiring revision surgery. Results: A total of 97 patients were included for analysis. Complication rates of local-only upper blepharoplasties performed in the clinic were not higher than when performed under sedation or GA in theatre. When analysing antibiotic use, although 32 of the 97 patients (33%) were not prescribed antibiotics preoperatively, postoperatively, or pre- and postoperatively, no patients developed infections. Conclusion: When performed by a qualified surgeon with appropriate equipment, local-only upper blepharoplasties carried-out in the clinic are as safe and efficacious as those performed with sedation or GA in theatre. Prophylactic antibiotic use demonstrated no advantage in SSI prevention for patients undergoing upper blepharoplasties.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the most common postoperative complications leading to increased morbidity which also an important factor of increased hospital stays and increased healthcare cost. The use of prophylactic antibiotics may benefit the patients in preventing the surgical site infection. Aim of the study was to study the single dose prophylactic antibiotic use in preventing surgical site infection in elective surgery.Methods: Patients were included from the list of elective surgery. Patient with comorbid was excluded. The patient was handled as per NICE guideline for prevention of surgical site infection and treatment 2017. Prophylactic antibiotic injection cefuroxime 1500mg administered intravenously 30 minutes before surgery, at the site of the incision.Results: In 110 patients included in the study, 46% of patients were in 35 to 45 years, male were higher in number. 20% of patients underwent hernioplasty followed by cholecystectomy 18.3%. 9% of SSI was recorded in this study. 4 cases in cholecystectomy, 3 cases in hernioplasty, each 1 case in appendicectomy, Hydrocele and ventral hernia mesh repair. The most common bacteria isolated from the samples were Staphylococcus aureus.Conclusions: In uncomplicated surgeries, single dose antibiotics before 30 minutes of surgery may benefit in preventing SSI.

Purpose: In general orthopedic surgery, the use of prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection is recommended to be administered within 24 hours. However, there was no analysis on the incidence of surgical site infection according to the duration of use of prophylactic antibiotics for upper extremity fractures. This study aims to derive the appropriate prophylactic antibiotic using time by analyzing the incidence of infection according to the time of prophylactic antibiotic use in distal radius fractures.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who used prophylactic antibiotics among patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for distal radius fractures from April 2018 to May 2021. The time of use of prophylactic antibiotics was classified into the 1-day group used, from 1 hour before surgery to 24 hours after the first administration, and the long-term group, continuously administered until discharge after surgery. Demographic characteristics, infection rate, C-reactive protein, risk factors for surgical site infection, and bone union were compared between the two groups.Results: A total of 168 patients were included in the study, 73 in the 1-day group and 95 in the long-term group. Superficial infection occurred in seven patients in the 1-day group and nine in the long-term group, and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rates of the two groups (p=0.980). Conclusion: The use of prophylactic antibiotics for 24 hours does not show a significant increase in the infection rate compared to the case of continuous use during open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures.
