Abstract
For surgical patients, surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common nosocomial infection, frequently cause morbidity and mortality among inpatients of hospitals and they have been shown to be the leading cause of operation‐related adverse events. Present study was aimed to study various risk factors of surgical site infections at a tertiary hospital. To assess the significance of various risk factors using statistical analysis to prioritize interventions aimed at reducing SSI incidence. The present study was a hospital based, prospective, observational study, conducted in patients 15‐70 years age, this study was conducted from 18 months(April 2023 to October 2024) at Murshidabad Medical college and Hospital in Department of General Surgery of gender, underwent non‐traumatic exploratory laparotomy, had surgical site infections following laparotomy. 22 (22.00%) patients had Appendicectomy and peritoneal lavage, 12 (12.00%) patients had Open appendicectomy, 10 (10.00%) patients had Adhesiolysis/Resection Anastomosis, 9 (9.00%) patients had Peritoneal lavage, 11 (11.00%) patients had Hernia repair, 16 (16.00%) patients had Ileal repair/ileostomy, 3 (3.00%) patients had Exploratory laparotomy with mental patch repair, 5 (5.00%) patients had RA repair of sigmoid volvulus, 2 (2.00%) patients had Duodenal ulcer perforation repair, 5 (5.00%) patients had Liver abscess drainage and peritoneal lavage and 5 (5.00%) patients had Repair of intussusception and it was statistically significant <0.0001. Surgical site infection is a preventable morbidity. BMI >25, co‐morbidities such as diabetes, smoking, dyslipidaemia, surgery >2 hours, appendicectomy were few high‐risk factors noted for surgical site infections.
