Background: Surgical site infections (SSI’s) are one of the most common complication dealt after surgery and depends on a wide variety of variables like the patient as well as the surgery related factors. The main concern is that due to emerging resistance among the micro-organisms we face difficulty in treating these infections.
Aim: The aim of the study was to find the relationship between various surgical variables with the risk of development of surgical site infections.
Design: Prospective study.
Material and Methods: The study was carried between January 2021 to January 2022in the Post-Graduate Department of Surgery, Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences (ASCOMS), Jammu. Data was collected of 100 surgeries where there was development of surgical site infections. The relevant history and investigation were performed after taking informed consent from the patient.
Results: In our study 100 cases of SSI’s were studied and it was found 59 cases had longitudinal incision,86 cases had a abdominal surgery and 68 cases were having a drain placed after surgery. 4-6 inch long incision was the most common length to be infected having 40 such cases while surgeries lasting for more than 1 hour had the most incidence of SSI’s with 60 such cases.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we found that surgical site infections are common after surgery with longitudinal incision and abdomen being the most common site. The duration of surgery and placement of drain has a direct impact on SSI’s on the other hand the smaller incisions are least probable to be infected and medium one’s being the most commonly infected.
