    Late postoperative purulent complications (LPC) affect 4% of surgical patients, often requiring rehospitalization and surgery. These complications, particularly after appendectomy, necessitate timely management and can lead to prolonged hospital stays.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Infections
    • Clinical Outcomes
    • Patient Readmission

    Background:

    • Late postoperative purulent complications (LPC) represent a significant challenge in surgical patient care.
    • Studying LPC is crucial for understanding long-term surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
    • Identifying risk factors and patterns of LPC can improve patient management strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of late postoperative purulent complications (LPC).
    • To categorize LPC based on the timing of readmission and the type of complication.
    • To evaluate the impact of LPC on hospitalization duration and mortality rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 557 case records of patients with LPC over a 10-year period.

  • Classification of patients into three groups based on time to readmission (within 1 month, up to 12 months, and over 1 year).
  • Detailed examination of complication types, common surgical procedures (appendectomy), and need for surgical intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • LPC occurred in 4% of operated patients, with a 0.4% mortality rate and mean hospitalization of 14.2 days.
    • Wound infections were common in early readmissions, while fistulas and infiltrates predominated in later groups.
    • Appendectomy was associated with 53% of LPC cases, and 75.8% of patients required further surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Late postoperative purulent complications are a notable concern, particularly following appendectomy.
    • The nature of LPC evolves over time, requiring tailored diagnostic and treatment approaches.
    • Effective management of LPC is essential to reduce patient morbidity and healthcare resource utilization.
