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

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) has been reported to be one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections which accounting for 20% to 25% worldwide. Despite recent advances in aseptic techniques, SSIs continue to be a major source of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and continue to represent about a fifth of all healthcare-associated infections. The aim of the study was to assess the pattern and etiological factors of surgical site infection among the patients who had undergone in surgery.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at the department of surgery in Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital (SSMC and MH), Dhaka, Bangladesh from August 2017 to July 2018. Total 160 admitted patients who had undergone surgical procedures during the study period were assessed and interviewed.Results: The mean±SD age of the participants was 51.79±11.30 SD years. About 59% were male and 41% were female. Most of them came from rural areas (61%).  Surgeries were done in different indications and 21% developed SSI. Of all SSIs, 73% were superficial and 27% were deep infections. The most common organism involved in SSI was S. aureas (42.4%), followed by E. coli (27.3%), P. aeruginosa (12.1%), bacteroids (12.1%), and Klebsiella spp. (6.1%). Meropenem was the most sensitive drug followed by Ceftriaxone. Gentamycin showed cent percent sensitivity on the gram-negative organisms.Conclusions: The incidence of SSIs was found in about one-fifth of the post-surgical cases, where Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent organism.

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.

Abstract Objective: Understanding the reality of surgical site infections post-discharge surveillance in Brazilian teaching hospitals. Method: A cross-sectional study conducted by sending an online questionnaire to nurses from the Hospital Infection Control Committee of Brazilian teaching hospitals registered in the National Registry of Health Establishments. Results: Of the 193 teaching hospitals in Brazil, eight declined to take part as they did not conduct post-discharge surveillance and 36 did not respond. Twenty five of the remaining 149 hospitals provided detailed responses and 96% of responding institutions performed surgical site infection surveillance during hospitalization; active search (29.3%) was the main method, while 84% reported performing post-discharge surveillance mainly by telephone (42.8%). Both surveillance actions have nurses as the main responsible professionals. Conclusion: Nurses play a prominent role in surgical site infection identification/screening actions, and active search during hospitalization allied with post-discharge surveillance by telephone were the preferred methods.
