Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the surgical site infection (SSI) rate of pancreas operation and its related risk factors.
METHODWe retrospectively analyzed sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score, and operation time in 196 patients after pancreas operation.
RESULTSSI occurred in 14 patients (7.1%). The sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score had no significant difference between SSI group and non-SSI group (P>0.05), while statistically significant difference was found in the term of operation time (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSOperation time is a significant risk factor of SSI. There were no any relations between hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score.
