| Popis | Objective: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common morbidities following colorectal surgery. We identify risk factors to predict the likelihood that a patient will develop a SSI after a colorectal resection for colorectal cancer. Methodology: This investigation was designed as a retrospective study of 67 patients who underwent colorectal resection for colorectal cancer. We evaluated influence of gender, age, nutritional status indicators , body mass index, ASA score, diabetes mellitus and local tumor stage. Results: A total of 14 (21%) incisional SSIs were identified. Patients who developed incisional SSI were mostly male, obese, they have higher ASA score, local more advanced tumor, and they were more often diabetics. But the difference was not statistically significant. Only hypoalbuminemia (P = 0.01) and hypoproteinemia (P = 0.02) proved to be statistically significant risk factors for SSI. Conclusion: Good preoperative nutritional status (based on albumin and total protein level) is the most important factor for preventing SSI in patients with colorectal cancer surgery. |
