Title: Multivariate analysis of incision infections after hepatobiliary surgery and treatment strategies
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the multivariate analysis of wound infections after hepatobiliary surgery and treatment strategies.METHODS A total of 554 patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery from May 2005 to Aug 2011 were selected,the related factors for surgical incision infections were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS Of 554 patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery,incision infections occurred in 66 patients with the infection rate of 11.9%;the difference in the rate of incision infections among the age,operation duration and the types of surgical incision was significant;the infection rate of the patients aged more than 60 years was significantly higher than those aged less than 60 years,which indicated that the rate of incision infections was high in the elderly patients after the surgery;the rate of type Ⅰ incision infections was 6.2%,significantly lower than 16.0% and 23.7% of the type of Ⅱ or Ⅲ-type incision;the longer the operation duration was,the higher the incision infection would be;so the incision infections after hepatobiliary surgery should be prevented from paying attention to the patients′ own factors and the surgical procedures.CONCLUSION The surgeon should strengthen the concept of sterilization,sterile environment and the compliance of hand hygiene,shorten the operation time,complete the management system of infection,and control the accessing of the visiting personnel so as to minimize the surgical incision infections.
