Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) shows low perioperative infection rates. Shorter antibiotic prophylaxis (≤24 hours) with cefazolin or second-generation cephalosporins appears sufficient, alongside preventing bowel injury and managing catheters.

Retzius-Sparing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Published on: May 19, 2022

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a common procedure.
  • Understanding perioperative infection risks is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Antimicrobial prophylaxis patterns and their effectiveness require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence of perioperative infections following RARP.
  • To analyze antimicrobial prophylaxis strategies used in Japan.
  • To identify risk factors associated with infections after RARP.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 6660 patients undergoing RARP (2009-2021).
  • Evaluation of cefazolin (CEZ), ampicillin/sulbactam (ABPC/SBT), and second-generation cephalosporins (2ndCPs) prophylaxis.
  • Assessment of surgical site infections (SSI), urinary tract infections (UTI), and remote infections (RI) within 30 days; logistic regression for risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Overall infection rates: SSI 1.2%, UTI 1.4%, RI 0.3%.
  • Superficial SSI was common; deep/organ/space SSI was rare.
  • No significant SSI difference between ≤24h and >24h prophylaxis. Bowel injury linked to SSI; high BMI, catheter issues, and ABPC/SBT use linked to UTI.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative infection rates after RARP are low.
  • Prophylaxis within 24 hours, especially with CEZ or 2ndCPs, may be adequate.
  • Preventing bowel injury and optimizing catheter management can further decrease infection risk.
