Abstract Although restorative proctocolectomy is recognized as a standard procedure for ulcerative colitis, infectious complications after surgery cannot be disregarded. The aim of this study was to define predictors of surgical site infection (SSI) in urgent/emergent surgery for ulcerative colitis. We performed prospective SSI surveillance for 90 consecutive patients. Possible risk factors were analyzed by logistic regression analyses. Incidences of incisional SSI (i-SSI) and organ/space SSI were 31.1% and 6.9%, respectively, and increased significantly with higher wound class (P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed wound class ≥3 as an independent risk factor for i-SSI. In univariate analysis, although the mucous fistula procedure was a risk factor for i-SSI (odds ratio, 3.45; P < 0.01), Hartmann procedure also represented a risk factor for o-SSI (odds ratio, 12.8; P < 0.01). Urgent restorative proctocolectomy for patients without high wound class and emergent total colectomy with mucous fistula for patients with high wound class appear to represent feasible options.

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) following hydrocelectomy is relatively uncommon, but it is one of the main post-operative problems. We aimed to describe the prevalence of SSI following hydrocelectomy among adult patients, and to assess predisposing risk factors for infection. Methodology: This retrospective cohort study was carried out at a university hospital and included hydrocelectomies performed between January 2007 and December 2014. Diagnosis of SSI was performed according to the Center for Diseases Control (CDC) guidelines. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors. Results: A total of 196 patients were included in the analysis. Overall, 30 patients were diagnosed with SSI (15.3%) and of these, 63.3% (19/30) were classified as having superficial SSI, while 36.7% (11/30) had deep SSI. The main signs and symptoms of infection were the presence of surgical wound secretion (70%) and inflammatory superficial signs such as hyperemia, edema and pain (60%). Among the 53 patients presenting chronic smoking habits, 26.4% (14⁄53) developed SSI, which was associated with a higher risk for SSI (odds ratio [OR] = 2.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.27 to 6.35, p < 0.01) in the univariate analysis. In the adjusted multivariable analysis, smoking habits were also statistically associated with SSI after hydrocelectomy (odds ratio [OR] = 2.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.30 to 6.24, p = 0.01). No pre-, intra-, or post-operative variable analyzed showed an independent association to SSI following hydrocelectomy. Conclusions: Smoking was the only independent modifiable risk factor for SSI in the multivariate analysis.

<p>Introducción: La infección de sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) es la infección intrahospitalaria más frecuente en los pacientes quirúrgicos con una incidencia entre 5-30%. Objetivos: Identificar los factores de riesgo para ISQ en cirugía colónica en nuestra población. Los objetivos secundarios son determinar la incidencia y tipo de ISQ, así como la incidencia de dehiscencia de anastomosis (DA). Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos-controles de pacientes intervenidos de colectomía entre 2010-2014 en el Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba y Hospital Raúl Ferreyra. Se incluyeron las intervenciones convencionales y laparoscópicas, con seguimiento de 30 días, pacientes entre 20 y 85 años y con ASA I-III. Se excluyeron las cirugías de urgencia y las resecciones recto-anales. Se definió ISQ a aquella que ocurre dentro de 30 días. Resultados: Se incluyeron 238 pacientes. Se diagnosticó ISQ en 27,7% (n=66) de los pacientes de los cuales 12,2% fue superficial, 4,6% profunda y 10,9% de órgano/espacio. El análisis multivariado demostró que la ISQ se asocia con sexo masculino (odds ratio [OR] 3,15; IC95%:1,43-6,92; p=0,004), quimioterapia neoadyuvante (OR 6,72; IC95%:1,48-30,93; p=0,01), conversión (OR 3,32; IC95%:1,13-9,77; p=0,02), reintervención dentro de 30 días postquirúrgicos (OR 12,34; IC95%:2,65-57,37, p=0,001) y DA (OR 12,83; IC95%:2,97- 55,5; p=0,001). La DA presenta una incidencia del 9,6%, de los cuales el 91% presentó ISQ y todas fueron de órgano/espacio. Conclusión: Sexo masculino, quimioterapia neoadyuvante, conversión, reintervención dentro de 30 días postquirúrgicos y DA son factores de riesgo para ISQ en nuestra población. Estos resultados deben ser considerados para implementar medidas preventivas para ISQ.</p>
