Abstract: Education of healthcare workers combined with routine preoperative serological testing in patients undergoing septoplasty under general and local anesthesia are needed to increase awareness of hepatitis B and C, and HIV infection among healthcare workers and patients in order to decrease the transmission rate.

Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections are important parenterally transmitted infections. The aim of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV and anti-HIV in patients with preoperative preparation.Material and Method: Anti-HBs, HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV tests with chemiluminescent enzyme immune-assay method in a total of 900 patients applied to the General Surgery Clinic and were evaluated preoperatively by Abbott Architect i1000 immunoassay analyzer (Abbott Diagnostics, Illinois, USA) operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Anti-HBs titer above 10 IU/mL, serum optical density/"cut-off" control optical density (S/ Co) ≥1 in HBsAg, anti HCV and anti-HIV tests were accepted as positive. HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA tests were performed with real-time PCR method.Results: Anti-HBs test was found to be reactive in 34.11% and nonreactive in 65.89%. HBsAg positivity was 1.0% (9/900), and anti-HCV positivity was 0.33% (3/900). Anti-HIV positivity and HBsAg-anti-HCV association were not detected. Six patients with HBsAg positivity and one patient with anti-HCV positivity were found incidentally during preoperative examinations. Conclusion:As a result of these data, it can be concluded that cost-effective serological tests for HBV and HCV infections performed in the preoperative period are extremely important in the detection of asymptomatic patients. Preoperative screening is important in terms of early diagnosis of patients before complications such as cirrhosis and HCC develop, enabling treatment, as well as enabling healthcare professionals to increase infection control measures while intervening with infected patients, to be more careful in terms of percutaneous injuries, and to reduce the risk of transmission.

Objective: Although preoperative screening for Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in patients is a controversial issue in terms of cost-effectiveness and patient privacy, this practice is commonly carried on by surgical branches. The goals of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of preoperative HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HCV and anti-HIV antibodies, as well as whether seropositive patients were referred to the infectious diseases outpatient clinic. Methods: In this study, blood samples from 884 patients who underwent elective eye surgery at Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University Medical Faculty Hospital between August 2019 and April 2021 were researched for HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV positivity and seroprevalences were determined. It was also determined whether patients with seropositivity from the hospital automation system had previously been diagnosed and if newly diagnosed patients applied to the infectious diseases outpatient clinic in the subsequent period. Results: The study comprised a total of 884 patients. Males comprised 457 (51.7%) of all patients, with a mean age of 63.21± 16.05. In 29/839 (3.3%) of the patients, HBsAg was positive. Anti-HCV positivity was found in 21/872 (2.4%) people. Anti-HIV positivity was not detected in any of the patients. Conclusion: It would be a more accurate and effective approach to increase compliance with standard hygiene and protection measures rather than requesting routine pre-operative testing for HBV, HCV and HIV. If these tests reveal seropositivity, the patient should be informed of the disease and referred to an infectious disease specialist.
