    Bacteria were found in gallbladder bile (13%) and drainage fluid (46%) after cholecystectomy. Pathogenic bacteria in drainage fluid correlated with infection risk, suggesting selective drain use for specific patient groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Microbiology
    • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Bacterial contamination is a concern in cholecystectomy.
    • Understanding bacterial sources in surgical sites is crucial for infection prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate bacterial occurrence in various sites following elective cholecystectomy.
    • To correlate bacterial findings with infectious complications and patient factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Bacterial cultures from preoperative skin, gallbladder bile, drain wound secretion, and drainage fluid.
    • Analysis of bacterial presence in relation to operative factors and complications.

    Main Results:

    • Bacteria detected in 46% of drainage fluid and 13% of gallbladder bile specimens.

  • Pathogenic bacteria in drainage fluid linked to increased fluid volume and infectious complications (abscess, wound infection).
  • Bacterial sources appeared predominantly exogenic, but gallbladder bile was an internal source in 35% of positive cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intraperitoneal drains may be bacteriological concerns, especially in patients with acute cholecystitis or over 60.
    • Selective use of drains in high-risk groups could mitigate infectious complications.
