Post-operative wound infection is defined as surgical site infection from 0-30 days after surgery, or infection to surgical site till one year in cases of implants like mesh, vascular grafts and prosthesis. This study was done to find out incidence of post-operative wound infection in surgical patients in rural setup. This study of post-operative wound infection was carried out from August 2008 to August 2010. The study is of 3275 patients who underwent surgery in the A.V.B.R.H. Significant association was observed between the nature of surgery and Southampton Wound Grading System. It concluded that severity rate of post-operative wound infection was increased from grade I to grade V which was found to be similar in clean to contaminated nature of surgery and that was found to be statistically significant at P value less than 0.001.

Mullerian duct anomalies are rare and can present with abnormalities in upper vagina, cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The exact incidence of cervicovaginal agenesis is unknown and there are very few cases recorded in the literature. Authors report a 12-year-old girl referred from gynaecologist with chronic cyclical abdominal pain with underdeveloped, geniatilia and developed secondary sexual characters. Radiological investigations showed hypoplastic cervix with hematometra and left hemato salpinx. A definitive repair with creation of a neovagina using a sigmoid colon segment was performed in a single stage. Many techniques are described for reconstruction of cervicovaginal canal. Use of colon in creation of a neovagina is described by authors. Here we report a case of complete vaginal agenesis presenting with Hematometra-Hematosalpinx where a neovagina was created using a segment of sigmoid colon. Single staged surgery for neovagina creation using segment of sigmoid colon offers a promising and safe alternative for cervicovaginal agenesis.
