[Influence of endovideosurgical operations on rate of purulent surgical complications]

Area of Science:

• Surgical Innovation
• Infectious Disease Epidemiology
• Hospital Quality Improvement

Background:

• Postoperative complications significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
• Endovideosurgery (minimally invasive surgery) is increasingly adopted, necessitating analysis of its complication rates.
• Understanding the microbial environment is key to preventing surgical site infections.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze the structure and rate of postoperative hospital complications following endovideosurgical operations.
• To compare complication rates between traditional laparotomy and laparoscopic approaches for cholecystectomy and appendectomy.
• To investigate the correlation between microbial contamination and purulent complications in laparoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

• Comparative analysis of complication data from patients undergoing laparotomy versus laparoscopic surgery.
• Case studies using cholecystectomy and appendectomy as representative surgical models.
• Environmental and medical device sampling to assess microbial contamination levels.

Main Results:

• Laparoscopic procedures showed a specific rate of postoperative complications.
• Microbial contamination of the unit environment and medical devices was quantified.
• A correlation was observed between purulent complications and the rate of laparoscopic procedures performed.

Conclusions:

• Endovideosurgery presents a distinct profile of postoperative complications.
• Environmental microbial load may be associated with purulent complications in laparoscopic surgery.
• Further research is needed to optimize infection control strategies in minimally invasive surgery.
