Surgical Site Infections in Dermatologic Surgery

Abstract: Most measures used to prevent SSIs in dermatologic surgery are based on studies of wounds in general surgery. Evidence specific to dermatologic surgery is scarce. More research related to the pathogenesis of SSIs is needed to establish effective preventative measures that are key to reducing incidences of SSIs.

“…From a clinical perspective, this observation corresponds with the well-established fact that E. coli and P. aeruginosa are less frequent as infective agents in acute surgical wounds. Notably, the majority of surgical site infections are caused by Gram-positive bacteria, of which one major agent is S. aureus (18,19). Although spec-…”

“…Mit einer Inzidenz von ca. 5 % treten SSI im dermatochirurgischen Klientel auf; die genauen Zahlen sind jedoch unbekannt; sie sind in höchstem Maße abhängig von der operativen Prozedur und der Lokalisation des Eingriffs, wobei Inzidenzen bis zu 28 % publiziert sind [24].…”

“…Der ASA-Score (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) ist ein weiterer Score zur Einschätzung des individuellen Gesundheitszustandes des Patienten und erfasst patienteneigene Risikofaktoren auf einer Skala von I (normaler, ansonsten gesunder Patient) bis V (mori-bunder Patient, der unabhängig vom operativen Eingriff innerhalb von 24 h versterben wird). Nachträglich wurde eine Klasse VI (hirntoter Patient zur Organentnahme im Rahmen einer Organspende) eingeführt[29,30].Zur Anwendung im dermatochirurgischen Klientel eignen sich die durch Saleh et al[24] beschriebenen patienteneigenen Faktoren erheblich besser: Hohes Alter, schwere systemische Erkrankungen, Nikotinabusus und Fettleibigkeit erhöhen nachweislich das Risiko ▶ Tab. 3 Aktuelle Risikofaktoren, die das Infektionsrisiko für surgical Site Infections (SSI) abschätzen lassen, mit Schwerpunkt auf das dermatochirurgische Patientenkollektiv.…”

“…Surgical site infections (SSIs) are leading nosocomial infections in developing countries and the second most frequent nosocomial infections in Europe and the United States ( Allegranzi et al, 2011 ). For example, in European hospitals, the overall rates of SSI range between 3% and 4% of patients undergoing surgery ( Saleh and Schmidtchen, 2015 ). In some procedures, such as when using skin grafts, or performing hernia surgery using biomaterials, the infection risk is higher and may exceed 5–10% ( Saleh and Schmidtchen, 2015 ; Futoryan and Grande, 1995 ; Falagas and Kasiakou, 2005 ).…”

The economic burden of failing skin repair is therefore extensive ( Lindholm and Searle, 2016 ).…”
