INFECTIONS IN THE AREA OF SURGICAL INTERVENTION IN OPEN SURGERY IN UROLOGY

Infections of the surgical intervention area, among all postoperative infectious complications, develop in 40%, of which one third are associated with an organ or cavity and two thirds with the area of the surgical wound. The current situation is the reason for long-term treatment in the hospital, and in many cases, re-hospitalization. Postoperative infectious-inflammatory complications associated with surgical care are a pressing issue worldwide. Regardless of modern scientific achievements in the field of surgery, the occurrence of infectious-inflammatory complications in every 5 operated patients discussed in the article is the subject of further study of this problem. The problem of postoperative infectious complications in urology is still relevant. Frequency, structure, and peculiarities of the development of infections of the area of open surgical intervention in 577 patients of the urological profile in the tertiary care hospital were studied retrospectively. Postoperative infectious complications were noted in 23.6% of the operated patients. The presence of a drainage tube in the postoperative period increases the risk of infectious and inflammatory complications in the entire cohort of openly operated patients. On the contrary, the use of PAP in patients reduces the incidence of infectious-inflammatory complications. The obtained result is the reason for further investigation of the problem in order to improve the quality of the prevention of complications in the postoperative period, decrease the number of bed days, decrease the financial expenses and the frequency of reapplications.
