“…Although previous studies found associations between post-operative SSI and previous operation [7][8][9][10], our study did not demonstrate any correlation. We found that second operation in oral cavity region was not associated with increased post-operative SSI rate.…”

“…A previous study on risk factors for SSI following coronary artery bypass surgery found previous cardiovascular procedure was an independent predictor of SSI [7]. Omeis et al [8] in their study of post-operative SSI in patients undergoing spinal tumor surgery indicated that previous spinal surgery was significantly associated with increased likelihood of developing post-operative SSI.…”

We investigated the post-operative surgical site infection (SSI) rate in oral cavity cancer patients who had previous operation in the oral cavity region and compared it with that of patients without previous operation. We retrospectively reviewed over 1,000 chart records of oral cavity cancer patients from January 2004 to November 2010 and relevant data were collected. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and a multiple logistic regression model for investigating the relevant factors of post-operative SSI. A total of 894 patients were enrolled in the final analyses. The overall post-operative SSI rate was 20.8%. Previous history of operation was identified in 173 patients (19.4%). There was no significant difference in post-operative SSI rate between the patients with previous operation and those without (22.5 vs. 20.4%, P = 0.601). Previous operation in the oral cavity region was not associated with increased post-operative SSI rate in oral cavity cancer patients.

“…But in reality, SV harvest site infection is more common, which increases the morbidity, causes delayed discharge from the hospital, and increases the hospital costs. [7][8][9] The causes of GSVHSI are multifactorial. Prevention is better than cure.…”

Coronary artery bypass grafting is a commonly performed surgery worldwide that gives good results. Great saphenous vein is used as a conduit for bypass in over 95% cases. The harvesting technique has remained unchanged over the years. However, wound complications from harvesting the great saphenous vein by open method can be a major source of postoperative morbidity. With the objective of preventing major complications, identification of risk factors for saphenous vein harvest site infection is important. It is imperative to develop approaches that prevent infection and to allow for early recognition of patients who are at high risk and who may need more watchful monitoring so as to prevent development of wound complications. It is desirable to assess the patient completely, delineate the anatomy of peripheral vessels particularly in a patient with associated peripheral vascular disease, identify the best site to perform the saphenous vein harvest incision, employ a meticulous surgical technique, recognize complications early, and start the recommended treatment without delay. The aim of this paper is to identify the risk factors for saphenous vein harvest site complications and their identification, prevention, and management.

“…Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus were the leading causes of SSIs following cardiovascular surgery, especially in the sternal area as in previous studies. 4,6 Methicillin resistance among staphylococci was high in our study. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci were all susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole susceptibility was greater than 90%.…”
