Abstract: To the Editor-Surgical site infection (SSI) among patients undergoing oncosurgery for cancer can increase the chances of morbidity and mortality, delay discharge from the hospital, increase healthcare costs, and affect subsequent management of cancers (through the delay of chemotherapy or radiotherapy). 1 The challenges of SSI are greater in low-and middle-income countries because of resource constraints and due to endemicity of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB), which colonizes and infects … Show more

“…Besides, 46 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from patients with SSI, which are mainly gram-negative bacteria, among which Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were more common. The findings of the distribution of SSI pathogenic bacteria in previous studies [ 27 , 28 ] are consistent with our results. There is no significant difference in the distribution of pathogens at the surgical site of endometrial carcinoma and other gynecological surgical sites, which may be associated with the same characteristics of colonizing pathogens at the same surgical site [ 29 ].…”

“…For the patients with diabetes, especially those with poor blood sugar control, have reduced body defenses and reduced ability to resist the invasion of foreign pathogenic microorganisms, which can increase risks of SSI [ 30 ]. Previous studies [ 27 , 28 ] have reported that patients with higher BMI ​​have thicker subcutaneous fat tissue, poor blood flow to adipose tissue, and are prone to fat liquefaction, with are associated with the development of SSI. We have not found the relationship between BMI and SSI, which may be related to the fact that the sample size is small, future studies with larger sample size are needed.…”
