ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:
In hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery, the role and significance of intra-abdominal lavage (IAL) for surgical site infection (SSI) is controversial.METHODS:
This prospective study was performed between July 2020 and July 2022. A total of 150 patients, 10-L IAL was performed. The lavage fluid at 1-L, 5-L, and 10-L was subjected to bacterial culture examination. Risk factors for SSI were evaluated.RESULTS:
Bacterial positivity rate significantly decreased as follows 1-L, 36% (n = 54); 5-L, 27% (n = 41); 10-L, 23% (n = 35) (36% vs 23%, p = .001). Patients with positive lavage fluid culture at 10-L had significantly higher incidence of both incisional (37% vs 6%, p < .01) and organ/space (54% vs 3%, p < .01) SSI. Multivariate analysis revealed positivity for bacterial culture at 10-L as the strongest independent risk factor for incisional SSI (OR 13.0, 95% CI 3.86-43.6, p < .01), followed by postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR 11.7, 95% CI 3.03-45.6, p < .01). Likewise, in organ/space SSI, positivity for bacterial culture at 10-L was the strongest independent risk factor (OR 48.9, 95% CI12.1-197.7, p < .01), followed by digestive reconstruction (OR 5.20, 95% CI 1.45-18.6, p = .01).CONCLUSION:
IAL decreased the intraperitoneal contamination rate in a volume-dependent manner and can be useful in the surveillance of SSI development in HBP surgery.Key words
