ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The clinical and financial impact of surgical site infection after ventral hernia repair is significant. Here we investigate the impact of dual antibiotic irrigation on SSI after VHR.METHODS:
This was a multicenter, prospective randomized control trial of open retromuscular VHR with mesh. Patients were randomized to gentamicin â+ âclindamycin (G â+ âC) (n â= â125) vs saline (n â= â125) irrigation at time of mesh placement. Primary outcome was 30-day SSI.RESULTS:
No significant difference was seen in SSI between control and antibiotic irrigation (9.91 vs 9.09 â%; p â= â0.836). No differences were seen in secondaryoutcomes:
SSO (11.71 vs 13.64 â%; p â= â0.667); 90-day SSO (11.1 vs 13.9 â%; p â= â0.603); 90-day SSI (6.9 vs 3.8 â%; p â= â0.389); SSIPI (7.21 vs 7.27 â%, p â= â0.985); SSOPI (3.6 vs 3.64 â%; p â= â0.990); 30-day readmission (9.91 vs 6.36 â%; p â= â0.335); reoperation (5.41 vs 0.91 â%; p â= â0.056).CONCLUSION:
Dual antibiotic irrigation with G â+ âC did not reduce the risk of surgical site infection during open retromuscular ventral hernia repair.
