Incidence, risk factors and outcome of infection in a 1-year hysterectomy cohort: a prospective follow-up study

Hysterectomy for gynaecological cancer: A follow‐up study of subjective and objective outcome

“…Similar incidences of infectious morbidity related to operations for gynaecological cancer have been found in previous studies 3,5,6,9,11 . Parallel to these reports, 24% of patients developed infection after abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions in our hospital 12 . Eighty‐four per cent of gynaecological oncologists have been reported to use prophylactic antibiotics for radical hysterectomy, 9 but the role of prophylaxis remains controversial.…”

Postoperative voiding, bacteriuria and urinary tract infection with Foley catheterization after gynecological surgery

“…Age could be suspected of increasing the risk of asymptomatic bacteriuria progressing to UTI as higher age has been reported to be a risk factor for catheter‐associated UTI (23), (24). In one study on a mixed group of medical and surgical patients, asymptomatic bacteriuria resolved within 14 days after catheter removal in 14/19 (74%) women under 65 years but only in 1/23 (4%) among those over 65 (25).…”

Torsion d’annexe après hystérectomie abdominale: une première observation

“…Ceci est appuyé par plusieurs éléments. La précision des gestes utilisant moins de sutures et de pincement des tissus, la dissection douce et l'utilisation de la coagulation bipolaire causent moins de traumatismes péritonéaux [ 2 , 3 ], moins d'infections et d'hémorragie [ 4 , 5 ], et moins d'iléus postopératoire [ 6 ]. En cœlioscopie, le contenu intra-abdominal surtout le péritoine a moins de contact avec les corps étrangers (champs, compresses..) qui favorise la formation d'adhérences.…”
