Item The Effect of Subcutaneous Suction Drains on Surgical Site Infection in Open Abdominal Surgery. A Prospective Randomized Study(2016) Arer, Ilker Murat; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; Ezer, Ali; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1161-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3583-9282; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3834-9924; 27025777; AAJ-7865-2021; AAJ-7913-2021; AAJ-8558-2021AIM: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major problem associated with open abdominal surgery and related to increased morbidity and mortality rates, healthcare costs and also incisional hernia. A negative pressure subcutaneous drain reduces dead space in subcutaneous tissue by preventing accumulation of fluid. The aim of current study was to establish the efficacy of a subcutaneous drainage system for preventing SSI after open abdominal clean-contaminated surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 62 patients underwent abdominal surgery, between November 2014 and March 2015, were enrolled. 48 eligible patients, were randomized into subcutaneous drainage (DG) and no drainage group (NDG). Antibiotic prophylaxis was appiled to each patient. The diagnosis of superficial SSI was made according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) definition. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 48.77 +/- 12.62 years with a male-female ratio of 21:27. No statistical difference between groups was observed for age, sex, comorbidity, incision type, hemoglobin level, blood loss, hospital stay and operation time (P>0.05). 2 (8.7%) patients in DG and 8 (32%) patients in NDG had incisional SSI but no statistical difference was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: SSI appear to be reduced with subcutaneous suction drains in open abdominal surgery however prospective randomized larger scaled studies should be performed on this topic.Item Predicting Pulmonary Complications Following Upper and Lower Abdominal Surgery: ASA vs. ARISCAT Risk Index(2020) Kara, Sibel; Kupeli, Elif; Yilmaz, Hatice Eylul Bozkurt; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 0000-0002-5826-1997; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 32259139; AAB-5345-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAI-8069-2021; AAK-2011-2021Objective: Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC) account for a substantial proportion of risk related to surgery and anaesthesia. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification and the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) risk index correlate Well with POPC. Here, we compared their accuracy in predicting pulmonary complications following upper and lower abdominal surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients undergoing upper and lower abdominal surgery. We collected patients' demographic data, comorbidities, preoperative pulmonary risk score, laboratory results, surgical data, respiratory tract infection history within one month before surges); surgical urgency, ASA scores and pulmonary complications within one month after the surgery. Results: We evaluated 241 patients [upper abdominal surgery n=121; lower abdominal surgery (UAS) n=120; mean age 55.7 +/- 3.1 years]. In the UAS. 55.13% of the patients were male. In LAS, all patients were fitmale. In both groups, the most common POPC was pleural elfin:ion with compressive atelectasis (CA). Regarding risk score, in both groups, patients with high-risk developed a higher rate of pulmonary complications [JAS (50%), LAS 140%)]. In patients with low-risk scores, the rate of pulmonary complications was significantly lower than the intermediate and high-risk groups (p<0.001). A positive correlation was observed between preoperative risk score and complications (UAS r=0.34; LAS r=0.35 LAS p<0.05). No association was observed between the ASA scores and POPC (p=0.3). Conclusion: The ASA classification was found to be a weaker modality than ARISCAT risk index to predict pulmonary complications after the upper and lower abdominal surgeries.
