Plastic Wound Protector vs Surgical Gauze for Surgical Site Infection Reduction in Open GI Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Surg 2024; 159:737-746. [PMID: 38656413 PMCID: PMC11044008 DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2024.0765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Importance Surgical site infections (SSIs) are prevalent hospital-acquired infections with significant patient impacts and global health care burdens. The World Health Organization recommends using wound protector devices in abdominal surgery as a preventive measure to lower the risk of SSIs despite limited evidence. Objective To examine the efficacy of a dual-ring, plastic wound protector in lowering the SSI rate in open gastrointestinal (GI) surgery irrespective of intra-abdominal contamination levels. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, patient-blinded, parallel-arm randomized clinical trial was conducted from August 2017 to October 2022 at 13 hospitals in an academic setting. Patients undergoing open abdominal bowel surgery (eg, for bowel perforation) were eligible for inclusion. Intervention Patients were randomized 1:1 to a dual-ring, plastic wound protector to protect the incision site of the abdominal wall (experimental group) or a conventional surgical gauze (control group). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was the rate of SSI within 30 days of open GI surgery. Results A total of 458 patients were randomized; after 1 was excluded from the control group, 457 were included in the intention-to-treat analysis (mean [SD] age, 58.4 [12.1] years; 256 [56.0%] male; 341 [74.6%] with a clean-contaminated wound): 229 in the wound protector group and 228 in the surgical gauze group. The overall SSI rate in the intention-to-treat analysis was 15.7% (72 of 458 patients). The SSI rate for the wound protector was 10.9% (25 of 229 patients) compared with 20.5% (47 of 229 patients) with surgical gauze. The wound protector significantly reduced the risk of SSI, with a relative risk reduction (RRR) of 46.81% (95% CI, 16.64%-66.06%). The wound protector significantly decreased the SSI rate for clean-contaminated wounds (RRR, 43.75%; 95% CI, 3.75%-67.13%), particularly for superficial SSIs (RRR, 42.50%; 95% CI, 7.16%-64.39%). Length of hospital stay was similar in both groups (mean [SD], 15.2 [10.5] vs 15.3 [10.2] days), as were the overall postoperative complication rates (20.1% vs 18.8%). Conclusions and Relevance This randomized clinical trial found a significant reduction in SSI rates when a plastic wound protector was used during open GI surgery compared with surgical gaze, supporting the World Health Organization recommendation for use of wound protector devices in abdominal surgery. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03170843.

The association between surgical site infection and postoperative colorectal cancer recurrence and the effect of laparoscopic surgery on prognosis. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2024; 409:40. [PMID: 38225456 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-024-03234-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Studies have shown that surgical site infection (SSI) incidence is lower in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, we reported the SSI countermeasures adopted by our institution and aimed to evaluate the association between SSI occurrence and postoperative colorectal cancer recurrence and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery for prognosis. METHODS Among the patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2017, 197 with stage I-III cancer without distant metastases were included. We retrospectively analyzed patients' electronic medical records and classified them into the non-SSI (without SSI, n = 159) and SSI (with SSI, n = 38) groups. We calculated and compared the 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Additionally, we assessed the relationship between prognosis in the non-SSI, incisional SSI, and organ/space SSI groups and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery. RESULTS The 5-year RFS and OS were 80.5% versus 63.2% (P = 0.024; hazard ratio [HR], 2.065; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.099-3.883) and 88.7% versus 84.2% (P = 0.443; HR, 1.436; 95% CI, 0.570-3.617), respectively. The SSI group had a significantly worse 5-year RFS prognosis. Regarding the relationship with laparoscopic surgery, the SSI incidence was 45.0% (9/20 cases) and 16.4% (29/177 cases) with laparotomy and laparoscopic surgery, respectively, indicating a significantly reduced SSI occurrence with laparoscopic surgery (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Patients with SSI were at high risk for colorectal cancer recurrence, and laparoscopic surgery may be useful for reducing SSI.

Abstract
Abdominal surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that occur after abdominal surgery. They can be superficial, involving the skin tissue only, or more profound, involving deeper skin tissues including organs and implanted materials. Currently, SSIs are large global health problem with an incidence that varies significantly depending on the United Nations' Human Development Index. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical update on the latest available literature on SSIs, focusing on causative pathogens and treatment with an overview of the ongoing studies of new therapeutic strategies.

Update of risk factors for surgical site infection in clean-contaminated wounds after gastroenterological surgery: An analysis of 1,878 participants enrolled in 2 recent randomized control trials for the prevention of surgical site infection. Surgery 2023:S0039-6060(23)00176-9. [PMID: 37183131 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clean-contaminated wounds should be the main target for reducing the burden of harm caused by surgical site infection after gastroenterological surgery. METHODS The present study targeted 1,973 patients enrolled in 2 randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative interventions for incisional surgical site infection prevention after gastroenterological surgery with clean-contaminated wounds. Patients were reassessed, and preoperative and postoperative variables were collected. Risk factors for surgical site infection were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The study population included 1,878 patients, among whom 213 (11.3%) developed overall surgical site infection and 119 (6.3%) developed incisional surgical site infection. A multivariate analysis revealed that steroid or immunosuppressant use (odds ratio 3.03; 95% confidence interval 1.37-6.73, P = .0064), open surgery (odds ratio 1.77; 95% confidence interval 1.11-2.83, P = .0167), and long operative time (odds ratio 2.31; 95% confidence interval 1.5-3.56, P < .001) were independent risk factors for incisional surgical site infection. Steroid or immunosuppressant use (odds ratio 2.62; 95% confidence interval 1.29-5.33, P = .0078), open surgery (odds ratio 2.13; 95% confidence interval 1.44-3.16, P < .001), and long operative time (odds ratio 2.92; 95% confidence interval 2.08-4.10, P < .001) were also independent risk factors for overall surgical site infection in the multivariate analysis. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis revealed that a long operative time (odds ratio 3.21; 95% confidence interval 1.69-6.1, P = .00378) was an independent risk factor for incisional surgical site infection in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. CONCLUSION Even under current measures for surgical site infection prevention, surgeons should continue to make efforts to appropriately expand the indication of laparoscopic surgery and to reduce operative times even when performing laparoscopic surgery.
