ABSTRACT
We evaluated wound infections in major oncological surgery for laryngeal neoplasm and functional neck dissection. Our objective was to determine the incidence and prevalence of infection in a group of laryngectomized patients; we evaluated the temperature, duration of fever, and analytical findings in the postoperative period, antibiotic prophylaxis, and the treatment of infectious complications. A retrospective study was designed to examine the infectious complications that appeared in 97 patients who underwent laryngectomy and neck dissection for laryngeal carcinoma from 1994 to 1996 in an ENT department. Factors that influence wound infection were examined fever, granulocytopenia, preoperative assessment, bacteriological culture, therapy and prophylaxis, and treatment. The data were analyzed statistically and compared with findings by other authors.
